MOONLIGHT MAZE – SEPTEMBER 28, 2007

HUNTERSVILLE, NC:  Get Lost!  Bring your flashlight and get ready to tackle the cornfield labyrinth by the light of the moon!  On September 28, the Friday night nearest to the full moon, Rural Hill’s MOONLIGHT AMAZING MAIZE MAZE will be open for adventure.  Tickets may be purchased between 6:30 to 8 PM.  Admission for this special event is $15.00 per adult (18+) and $10.00 per youth ages 5-17. 

The 2007 “Land of Liberty” themed Amazing Maize Maze is approximately two and a half miles of pathways in a working corn field.  Moonlight adventurers will work together to explore the paths and use the clues to solve the puzzle to make it through the maze.  According to Executive Director Ed McLean, “With a Maze Captain and the Maze Master to help when needed, the Amazing Maize Maze is designed to be navigated in 1-2 hours.”  Water and concessions are available on site.
