Ladies and gentlemen, I was just informed of the existence of something truly amazing. Have a seat. It’s called the Washington State Corn Maze. Hold on — it get’s better (and better and better!). It is not just any corn maze, but the state’s largest. It is twelve acres and contains four and a half miles of actual roads with “towns” and “cities” and “landmarks.” I kid you not.

From the website alone, I’m willing to pronounce this the must see attraction for the month of October (which happens to be Great Pumpkin Month — did you think I was kidding about the “better and better” part? I was not. ). I think it’s impossible for me to properly convey the excitement of this attraction; so point your browser to The Farm in Snohomish and start planning your trip immediately.

Expect a full report after this weekend, when I plan to see it all with my own eyes.

update: Even in the rain, it exceeded expectations. Plus, there’s a petting zoo, a hay maze, a pumpkin patch, and tons of autumn-related good things to eat!
