New Pink Corn Maze is a Fun Fundraiser

Every weekend in October family, fundraising and fall themed fun come together for North Carolina's first ever 6-acre Pink Cornmaze/ The maze is open until dusk with the Haunted Mountain Trail opening as night falls.

The first corn maze grown with ‘pink’ corn, which represents the ‘pink ribbon’ of Breast Cancer Research, is actually Indian corn developed in the American South West mixed with regional varieties to ensure health and height. Created by Billy Taylor, the maze stands on a 6-acre plot adjacent to Cane Creek Rd.  Open daytime, evenings by flashlight (bring one or buy one) ‘til 10 p.m.-Admission for RanchFest and Corn Maze: $12 at the gate, $10 on the web in advance, kids (10 & under) $8 at the gate, $6 on the web, kids two and under free.
