Corn Maze Travel

Corny Travel: Get Lost, Brett Favre!

July 18, 2008 at 11:30 AM | 0 Comments

This week, NFL quarterback Brett Favre created a firestorm by asking to be released from his Packers contract so he could un-retire and play for another team. Now a Wisconsin couple has honored the twists and turns of the quarterback's career with a corn maze thanking him for Packers glory.

Corn mazes are a traditional Midwestern early-fall entertainment created by trimming stalks in a pattern and then allowing children to run around inside until they cry. (We would know!) Carlene and Duane Schultz of the western Wisconsin town of Eleva do a corn maze every year, but they started planning this 5.5-acre masterpiece when Favre announced his retirement in April after taking the Pack as far as the NFC Championship game.

When it opens on September 1 we fully expect to find Ted Thompson inside, muttering about how things could have gone so, so wrong.
