Corn Maze
Poppell’s corn maze is intricate network of twists and turns carved into 10 acres of corn, on Saturday, October 6, 2012.
Though the correct pathway can be walked in only 15 minutes, most wandering maze-goers will require about one hour to travel through more than three miles of twists, turns and decision points.
The 2012 corn maze theme: “Vote 2012” featuring the likeness of Mr. Romney and President Obama.
