You're Making a What?!

After a few years of discussion, and lots of planning and research, and after lots of prayer, we decided to make a corn maze this year. Yes, we know it's a corny idea, and Arthur would say a bit embarrassing - I mean, how humiliating to have the neighbors see us mowing our field!!! Oh well, we've started and we'll see how it goes. With both Amos and Isaac wanting to earn some money off the farm, we're hoping this will help.

We've got a picture of a man on a tractor pulling a hay wagon made on grid paper. We've flagged out the field in a grid and are mowing the design. I'm guessing it will take a week or so. Some of the big corn mazes around the country hire someone to come through with a GPS and mower to make it but we like hard work :) So, if you've never been in a corn maze, it's like a large living maze with walls taller than you, and it's much harder than it looks on paper. We'll give you more details as we have them.

But, we need your help! We can not come up with a name we all like. So we've put a poll on the side bar and we'd love to hear what names you like. Or maybe you can think of something we didn't and want to let us know in a comment. The name has to be one that no other maze has around the country, and there's hundreds of them, so that has been limiting us. Help us out and vote in the poll. You can vote for as many as you like and it's anonymous!

Have an amazing day in the Lord!

  2. I'm not sure if it's my computer's coloring or your color choice, but I can't read the choices!

  3. Yes, Shelly, it is a real light yellow print. I've tried going into the fonts and colors and chaging it but I only seem to be able to change the color of everything else on the sidebar except the poll. The choices were: Krahn Corn Maze, Country Corn Maze, Mom's Maze, The Big Corn Maze, Papa's Corn Maze,and Crazy Corn Maze.

  5. Since you're in the Land of 10,000 Lakes... and to put a twist on the butter company... how about "Land O' Maze" as the name? Or "Krahn's Land O' Maze"?

  7. Shelly M., I'm just in to sooth my sore muscles and sunburn and I saw your suggestion. That's about my children's opinion!! They certainly don't want their name on it!!! And it does sound a little crazy!

    Dan - both Isaac and I like your suggestions but I'm afraid no one else did :( Too bad we don't sell our milk to Land O' Lakes!
