Centennial corn maze opens

WEATHERFORD — PBar Farms' has opened a new corn maze with a design celebrating Oklahoma's Centennial. "The Maize," which will be open through Nov. 18, includes questions from Oklahoma's statehood and history to guide visitors through the puzzle.

Though the correct pathways can be walked in less than 30 minutes, most directionally challenged visitors will require about one hour to travel through the 9-foot-high puzzle containing more than 95 decision points, 300,000 stalks and 3.5 miles of twists and turns.

A special haunted maze will be open nightly Oct. 19-31 (except Sundays).
