Popular Newark Valley Maze Returns for 17th Season
The corn maze at Stoughton Farm in Newark Valley opened to the public on September 18. The Stoughton family, in partnership with maze designer Brett Herbst, founder of the “The MAiZE,” the world’s largest corn maze consulting company, hope to give even more people a chance to experience the unique source of good farming fun in their newly-designed maze. While the correct pathways can be walked in under 30 minutes, most directionallychallenged visitors – adults and children alike – will require about one to two hours to travel through. The 2021 corn maze challenges the senses with its vast 8+ acres of pathways, turning points and dead ends. This year the designer has gone above and beyond to challenge the adventurous with the twists and turns of a fantastic spider and her spider web. The maze will give visitors the chance to “get lost” now through October 31.

It was Visions way of saying "thanks" for making an impact in the places we call home. Receiving the check for the Chamber are Sally Yablonsky (center), Interim President & CEO, and Art Poulton (right), Tri-Town Insurance.
