More than 80 farms in the U.S. and Canada will create 'Peanuts'-themed mazes to celebrate the beloved strip's 75th birthday.
Visitors to corn maze s across the country are finding a familiar and joyous figure in the winding labyrinth of tall stalks. Snoopy.
The closest farms to New York City appear to be Hank's PumpkinTown in Water Mill, New York, and Happy Day Farm in Manalapan Township, New Jersey.A massive Snoopy rests on top of his doghouse in a maze at Dull's Tree Farm in Thorntown, Indiana, and he's depicted gleefully atop a pumpkin at Downey's Farm in Caledon, Ontario.
The mazes - which span 35 states and provinces, from California to New York, Ontario to Texas - are expected to attract more than 2 million visitors. Farmers are signing up for the free service because the mazes are part of the customer lure, in addition to things like hay rides, fresh produce and pumpkin carvings.
"The first year we did it, we just used a weed whacker with a saw blade on it when the corn was fully grown," he says. "Now we do it when it's short and we go in and either mow it or rototill it. We design it all on a computer, but most of it we actually just go draw it out on the ground by hand." "Peanuts" made its debut Oct. 2, 1950. The travails of the "little round-headed kid" Charlie Brown and his pals eventually ran in more than 2,600 newspapers, reaching millions of readers in 75 countries.
