A-maize-ing Corn Maze and More

Make plans now to join us this Friday night for an a-maize-ing adventure through a huge maze of corn, after dark. (Please pardon my corn-y joke. Oh, wait, I did it again. I just can't stop myself.)

OK, enough with the bad puns. Here's the scoop:
The corn maze is about a 20 minute drive from campus and there is this really cool little family owned Italian pizzeria just down the road from it, so we are going to meet at CCVT's campus house at 5pm Friday and carpool to Aly's Family Italian Restaurant and enjoy some delicious Italian food -- your choice of anything from pizza and calzones to lasagna and chicken parmigiana, or if you actually aren't into Italian food, they also have good ol' hamburgers, Philly cheese steaks, subs and all kinds of stuff. Also, the prices are very reasonable. It's a really quaint little place. I love it.

After that we'll waddle over to the corn maze around the time it is getting dark. Bring your student ID. Groups of 10 or more with student IDs get $1 off the regular $6 ticket price. By the time we enter the maze it should be dark, making it a significant challenge to find your way out. Believe me, this isn't just a maze for little kiddies. It's big and complex.

Be sure to bring a flashlight, and please bring an extra, if you have one, to share with someone else who might need it.

And ladies, please leave the high heels at home. Remember, this is a corn field we will be walking in, so it's pretty bumpy from the furrows the plow has made, and the corn stalk stumps that are still sticking up where the corn has been cut down, etc. So flip-flops and sandals are a bad idea, too. Let's say tennis shoes are a minimum, and boots would be even better.

So to recap:
5pm at the campus house (directions on the right side of your screen)
$5 for the maze, plus about $5 or more for food (you can get a nice hamburger, fries and drink including tax and tip for under $5)
student ID
flashlights
appropriate footwear
warm attire appropriate for cool October nights

Hope you can join us. And bring a friend!

Spaghetti Dinner before Oasis

One of CCVT's own shining culinary stars will be in the campus house kitchen preparing a delicious spaghetti dinner just for you this Wednesday before Oasis. The star I am referring to is Joe Starr, to be exact.

Since we knew many of you would be out of town for Fall Break last weekend, and we expect many more to go home this weekend since there is no home football game, we haven't planned any special events for either of those weekends, but decided instead to provide this special pre-Oasis spaghetti dinner. Many thanks to Joe for volunteering to be the chef.

The dinner is free and will start at 6pm this Wednesday at the campus house.

As always, you are encouraged to bring a friend. Maybe you have a friend who has said they would like to come check out Oasis sometime, but has never gotten around to it yet. This might be the perfect time for them to come.

Hope to see you Wednesday night for dinner.

Steve
