You are invited to join us this Friday night for an a-maze-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 5:30pm 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. You can get a nice hamburger, fries, and drink, including tax and tip, for under $5. It's a really quaint little place. You'll love it.
After that we'll mozy on over to the corn maze around the time it is getting dark. Tickets for the corn maze are only $5. The maze is different every year, so even if you've been there before, it should be a challenge to find your way around the maze in the dark. The corn is usually about 8 feet tall, so it's not like you are going to be able to see over the top of it. I would estimate the maze is approximately the size of two football fields, so it's not just some little thing you'll be done with in a few minutes.
Be sure to bring a flashlight, and please bring an extra, if you have one, to share with someone else who might need it.
Choose your footwear wisely. 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 sticking up where the corn has been cut down, etc. So let's say tennis shoes are a minimum, and boots would be even better.
Finally, the forecast is for clear skies and only a gentle breeze, unlike the last couple days, but it will still be pretty cold. It's supposed to get down into the upper 30's by the time we will be leaving the corn maze. So bundle up! You'll enjoy exploring the maze a lot more if you aren't distracted by your chattering teeth and numb fingers. My advice is to dress warmer than you think you'll need to. Remember, this is the first cold spell we've had since last spring, so our bodies haven't adjusted to the cold yet. This time of year we feel like it's freezing in the same weather we'll wear shorts in come January -- we perceive it differently when we aren't used to it. So dress extra warm. You'll have more fun.
So to recap:
5:30pm Friday at the campus house
$5 for the maze, plus about $5 or more for food
flashlights
appropriate footwear
dress very warm
Hope you can join us. And bring a friend!
We make followers of Jesus and help his followers grow
