Cornfield Maze Design Celebrates Southern Music

2006 Cornfield Maze in Brownsboro

With 14 acres of corn planted and the new mind-boggling design now created, the Summerlin/Blakely families are bringing the "MAZE craze" back to ALABAMA for the 6th year. The popular Huntsville labyrinth, that drew thousands of visitors last fall, will once again get curious maze-goers lost, when it opens to the public on September 1, 2006 and closes November 19th. Part of an increasingly popular "agritainment" trend, it will be joined this year by nearly 165 affiliated MAIZE sites across the United States, Canada and Europe.

The Summerlin/Blakely families, in partnership with maze designer Brett Herbst--the worlds leading designer of 840+ corn mazes--hopes to give even more people a chance to experience the unique source of good family fun in their newly-designed labyrinth. This year's design commentors Southern music with lots of musical instruments and "Southern Pickin'" spelled out. Though the correct pathways can be walked in under 30 minutes, most directionally-challenged visitors--adults and children alike--will require about one hour to travel through more than 2 miles of twists and turns and 120 decision points.
