Crouch Cuts Ribbon on Mayse Maze

 The ribbon is cut for the 2016 cornfield maze at Mayse Farm on Evansville’s west side.

Evansville native, Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor and State Auditor Suzanne Crouch had the honor of cutting the ribbon Saturday morning.

To celebrate Indiana’s Bicentennial, the field was cut in the shape of Indiana and outlines the Bicentennial Torch. It takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete the maze that features Hoosier trivia throughout.

Sherrill Mayse says, “As you travel through, you’ll find podiums that have questions and the answers to the game sheet that we give. You have to travel through the maze to find the answers. It’s really a fun game-sheet. There are 14 questions and 7 podiums for you to look for in the maze.”

Admission to walk through the maze is nine dollars and that covers other fun activities for the little ones.

Fun on the Farm” will run every weekend through the end of October.

The event is usually on Main Street in Evansville but this year’s event had to be moved inside after a rainy start Saturday. Event-goers could enjoy food from various restaurants across Evansville and live music. Organizers say the event benefits youth interested in live orchestral music and festivals like the jazz and wine festival help the local economy.

“I think they are really good for downtown and even those activities even sponsored by the Evansville philharmonic guild really support the economy because even supporting music you give them really good activities to participate in and it helps industry because industry likes to relocate to an area where arts exist” event chair Ann Almquist said.

14 wineries are represented at the event. The jazz and wine festival ends at 11 p.m. Saturday night.
