Corn Maze in the Plains

09/28/2020

To our friends of The Corn Maze in The Plains! We miss you. Please come visit our new corn maze fall festival-The Blue Ridge Mountain Maze, near Charlottesville. Your fall tradition is only a few hours away. It’s like the one you knew so well but even better. We’re next door to a cool brewery, panoramic mountain views and great food, plus all the other things you loved. Come make a day or weekend out if it. Visit Monticello, hike in Shenandoah National Park, explore the many awesome breweries and wineries and drive the Blue Ridge Parkway. Come get lost in fun” with us again this fall!

Well folks, Kate and I (Hub) are sad to announce that last year was the final year of the Corn Maze in The Plains.
We have had a great 20 year run and felt blessed to provide a fun fall festival for the northern Virginia community. Thousands have come every fall and we cherished the times we had.
We are grateful for the kindness and support of the townspeople of The Plains over the years. Thank you for being a great neighbor.

We will miss the laughter of kids going down the slides, the screams of joy in the maze at night, the sound of the pumpkin slingshot, the smell of hot cider, the beautiful sunsets, the mountains of pumpkins that wowed everyone, the great employees we have had over the years. We especially will miss all the customers that have come year after year, some for all 20. Thank you for the personal relationships.

Unfortunately everything comes to an end sometimes, and this is the time for us.

Thank you thank you for the love.
