We have the scariest corn maze in the area! The maze, which features seven acres of twists and turns carved into a corn field, is one of the biggest and most popular events sponsored by GRIP every year. The opening-night activities will feature a strongman competition at 4 p.m., a performance by the bluegrass group Bright Water Junction at 6 p.m. and a fireworks display at dark. Proceeds will go to Ozark Food Harvest.

The maze will remain open until Nov. 1, and will include family friendly attractions such as hay rides, movie nights on Friday and Saturday evenings, games, animals and rides for children. Beginning on Oct. 3, the maze will kick off its “Field of Screams” tour, in which the maze will be populated by ghosts and goblins.

•	The Feed Wagon is on site with the delectable smell and taste of their BBQ sandwiches, chili, nachos, caramel apples, etc. every Friday and Saturday.  Pop machines are located on site as well as candy and snack sales.  

•	Campfire sites are available by reservation for your group if you would rather roast hotdogs, marshmallows or whatever your party fancies (no alcohol).  You can bring the fixins’ for your own weenie roast, etc.  Call to reserve a campfire.
	
•	The MAiZE offers hayrides every Friday and Saturday (Wed by appt.).  Riders will enjoy a 30 minute jaunt over the river and through the woods to a historic monument that marks the spot of the first Sunday School held west of the Mississippi River.  The cost is $3.00 per person, ages 5 and under free with an adult.  Group rates are available.

Each rider enters the Boxer Jock to find himself encased in a suit of steel armor ready to do battle. Totally safe and easily operated by riders of all ages.  The cost is $3.00 per person.

•	Come down on the farm at Spring River and ride a ‘cow’.  Kids and adults alike enjoy taking a ride on the infamous cow train.  The cost is $1.00 and souvenir t-shirts that brag about your daring ride are available in the country store.
