Valley farm.
October on the farm also will feature an Antique Tractor Show, Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off, and Roctoberfest - a day of live music, hay rides and more.
With corn stalks towering overhead, children and adults alike can wander along paths designed to twist and turn through the rustling corn field, which can be confusing enough during the day, but for those who want an extra-spooky experience – the maze is also open at night – so the adventurous are asked to bring a flashlight.
The corn maze is open at 10 a.m. daily throughout the month of October, closing Sunday through Thursday at 6 p.m., and open late (until 10 p.m.) Friday and Saturday nights. School field trips are available in October by appointment. Bring flashlights for wandering the maze in the evening.
For adults who would like to experience the maze without threat of monsters jumping out of the corn, Thursday, Oct. 16, from 5 to 10 p.m. is for adults only. Just two nights after the full moon, the night-time sky will be very bright that evening, but bringing a flashlight is still recommended.
Families also can visit the Antique Tractor Show Oct. 18 and 19, the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off and enjoy barbecue both days. The father and son team of Greg and Evan Dills, who have worked together to restore tractors, gas engines, and farm implements for years, will be on hand to talk about the machines.
The Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off, where farmers of all ages bring their massive pumpkins to The Sutton Family Farms, begins at 1 p.m. on Oct. 18.
Celebrate Roctoberfest on Saturday, Oct. 25, with live local bands playing from 10 a.m. until dusk. Barbecue also will be available.
Admission to the corn maze is $6 per person, ages 4 and under are free. Open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 1 through 31.
Admission is free to the Antique Tractor Show and Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off Oct. 18 and 19. Carriage hay rides also will be available during the month; call for dates and times.
