A day spent outdoors in the crisp air of the fall is an ideal environment to enjoy traditional country fair activities, including an adventure through a corn maze. Families with preschoolers to teenagers find the trip through a corn maze as an adventure. Corn mazes have been a favorite fall activity for years, when local farms made small mazes for their children’s entertainment. Today, there are many commercial mazes that attract families throughout the country. For Northern Illinois area
residents, one of the places to spend a day in the country is in nearby Spring Grove, where the Richardson Farm Corn Maze has been available since 2001. Billed as the largest corn maze in the world, covering 28 acres, the Richardson Farm Corn Maze is the most intricate maze to be found. The Richardson farm has been family-owned at the Spring Grove location since 1836, and has gone through a variety of changes since then. But one thing has not changed, the Richardson family continues to own, live in the two farmhouses

This time, the Antioch Township board voted to pay the bills, with trustee Steve Turner as the lone no vote. Once gain, Turner expressed concern about a “governmental body deciding where taxpayers donate their dollars.” According to Illinois state law, the township can distribute funds from the general fund to community action agencies that serve township residents. In the past, Antioch Township has made contributions to Nicasa and AAHAA. Prior to the vote, trustee Peter Grant was reluctant to vote to pay the bills. Antioch township attorney Larry Clark, present at the meeting, explained the ramifications. “You can request that a particular bill be pulled, and that request is never denied,” Clark said. “But if you don’t pay the
bills, you will see a one percent charge added to those bills.” Grant waived that since the bills with which he had issues, the assessor Heather Kufalk-Marotta’s mileage/travel reimbursements since there appeared to be no supporting documentation. When township supervisor Steve Smouse reached the item on the agenda to discuss the issue, Kufalk-Marotta said she had no problem filling out the IRS required log, if everyone else did the same. “As soon as a everyone else does it,” she said, “I will.” Clark commented that, “it is a pain, but we all have to do it.” Kufalk-Marotta said she had one of Grant’s mileage reimbursements. “He claimed an 180-mile round trip to Condell Hospital.” Grant said he had no knowledge of what she was
