With nine acres of corn planted and a design now created, the Rausch family is bringing the “MAiZE craze” back to Ohio.
The annual Milford Center labyrinth that drew hundreds of visitors last fall will once again get curious maze-goers lost when it opens to the public today.
Part of an increasingly popular “agritainment” trend, it will be joined this year by nearly 160 affiliated MAiZE sites across the United States, Canada and Europe.
The Rausch family, in partnership with maze designer Brett Herbst, designer of 600-plus corn mazes, hopes to give even more people a chance to experience the unique source of good farming fun in the newly-designed labyrinth. This year’s design pays tribute to Cleveland Cavaliers star Lebron James.
Though the correct pathways can be walked in under 30 minutes, most directionally-challenged visitors — adults and children alike — will require about one hour to travel through more than two miles of twists and turns and 85 decision points.
