DOVESVILLE – Corn Maze season opened Saturday with bluegrass bands, pig races, cow train rides and two different corn mazes at Pim Farms on Dovesville Highway just off US 52.
While Pim Farms has been doing corn mazes for several years, this was the first year to kick off the season with a festival, farm owner Pim Booth said.
One maze was done in the shape of a scarecrow, the other as a horse, Booth said. Throughout the mazes were “cornundrums” that would allow adventurers who knew the correct answers to speed their way through the maze.
Otherwise, Booth said, anyone could walk around in circles as “one corn stalk looks pretty much like any other.”
The farm is where Booth grew up and the pavilion at the center of the activities was where the old homestead was, he said.
While he could have cut the mazes using GPS, Booth said he took the old-school method and just counted off rows and stalks as he cut.
The maze is open through Nov. 14, Saturday 10 am-9 pm, Sunday 2-9 p.m. and Wednesday 6-8 p.m.
Admission is $7 for adults, $6 for children 11 and under and free for children under 4.
