ZRC at Schuster’s Playtime Farm
Last Saturday the Technical Director and I took a much-needed break from the internet activism arm of the ZRC and went out to Schuster’s Playtime Farm for an evening of Zombie-friendly fun. Specifically, we were there to experience the wondrous mysteries of their giant corn maze. Spoooooooky.
All right, so it really isn’t all *that* spooky. It is a family friendly, as well as Zombie-friendly, affair. Still, for a corn maze it is quite impressive, being both very large and quite complex. One can easily get lost in the corn for some time; it took us about an hour to complete the ‘Phase 2′ of the Large corn maze, as we got quite turned around in the dark after the sun went down at the end of the last section.
In addition to corn mazes, the farm also has a hay ride, assorted food and snack concessions and a wide variety of pumpkins for sale, including some varieties I’ve never seen before. I bought a few of the nicer specimens and should put up pictures sometime soon on Flickr. They’re not precisely ZRC material, being ordinary living pumpkins and not particularly Zombile, but I may put up a link here on the blog just in case, as they are nifty.
Below the cut you can see a few more pictures of our trip through the corn maze.
There were a lot of these ‘wacky’ signs up in the maze, including a few signs indicating that you could text the Schuster’s farm people for hints about where to go in the maze, or ask for help, or what not. Each sign was unique so by texting that sign’s information you could identify yourself, sans GPS, very precisely. Nice use of modern technology I suppose. Seems a bit strange here in the maze of corn. Would He Who Walks Behind the Rows be amused at this pathetic human attempt to govern his unchartable lands?
There are even more of those wacky signs up on the Flickr. Enjoy.. if you like puns.
