Corn Maze to Open in Westminster
Get lost this fall at the 2010 Carroll County Agriculture Center corn maze.
Authorities have identified the crop circles found outside of Westminster as the work of Carroll County Ag Center volunteers and not the work of space aliens.
~~~~~~
Beginning Friday, September 10, 2010, the Ag Center will feature over 2 miles of trails creatively carved out of acres of seven-foot tall corn just outside of Westminster.
It has been six years since a maze was artfully carved into the crop fields at the Ag Center. In 2004, over 3,300 folks visited.
The theme of this year’s maze is a celebration of Carroll County’s agricultural heritage. A cornucopia of grapes, an apple, a banana, pumpkin, and squash have carefully been carved into the field for hours of family fun.
Come test your navigational skills. Get off the couch, turn off the TV, get out of the house and enjoy the fresh air and support a worthy cause, the Carroll County Agriculture Center, home of the nationally known Carroll County 4-H and FFA Fair.
Public hours are Friday and Saturday nights from 5 PM to 9 PM and Sunday afternoons from 2 PM to 6 PM. The maze will be open weekends until October 31, 2010 and will feature a haunted maze on October 29th and 30th, 2010.
Cost is $10 for adults and $5 for ages 3 to 12. Group prices and times are available, call 410 848-6704.
