Amazing Fall Family Fun

Amazing Fall Family Fun

Rosanne Fortier - News Correspondent

Picture-perfect weather enveloped the Opening Weekend of Vegreville Corn Maze at the grounds of the old Vegreville Regional Museum on September 13 and 14.  

The area was brimming with activities to explore, from a massive, interactive corn maze where people had to use their navigation skills to find their way around the twists and turns, and smaller challenges of the Little Kid Bale Maze, to Vegreville Centennial Library Storywalk, and other fun which included the Rock Hunt, Bale Mountain which seemed to be a hay tower that a few kids dared to jump off of, yard games, face painting, and Corn Eating Contest.  

The warm and bright rays of the sun help everyone enjoy the fun attractions.

The corn maze is cut into a five-acre field, and the maze is six to seven feet tall.   

The pedal cars sparked the imaginations of young people as they pretended to race around the circle.

When a break was desired, people were treated to a tractor-pulled shuttle service.

Some of the Directors and Members of Vegreville Agricultural Society who were instrumental in making the corn maze happen from L-R: Don Harfield, Richard Marchenko, Justin Hambidge, Mazy the Mascot, and Office Manager Rachel Farr.

As always, Mazy the Mascot met and greeted attendees.

A concession stand was available for hungry folks, or others who wanted a cool drink, or a treat to cool off.

Vegreville Agricultural Society hosted this event with the help of community organizations and many unsung volunteers.
