“The Maize” presented by Red Silo Productions is just around the corner.

The Reding family has been preparing for the two-month-long event all year to attract an audience of all ages.

The Maize is set to open Sept. 12 and run through Oct. 31.

It will be open to the general public on Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

“I think we will have a great turn out, people have been talking about it around town. I am just so excited to get this thing going,,” Jerry Reding said.

The Maize will offer three different corn mazes. A large 10-acre maze is cut to the portrait of the Scare Crow from the “Wizard of OZ”.

A smaller maze is cut to the outline of the Tin Man and a Haunted Maze will open on October 1.

Other attractions will include hay rides, a farm animal display, an educational play “Cousin Clara Bell’s Critters”, pumpkin/corn canons, and a bluegrass, rock, and reggae music series.

Martin Reding, Jerry’s brother, called for the show star “Nuisance.”

Then, out came a cat from a nearby barn.

Martin said, “Nuisance will be the show star in the play.”

The cat is trained to enter a few scenes in the “critter” play, by the temptation of tomatoes, held in the hand of it’s trainer.

They are also offering field trips to several surrounding schools, churches, and businesses. Field trips will take place Monday through Thursday.

The event will be held on the Reding Farm north of town at 614 Reding Road.
