The public is invited to take part in making history in Hoosick and attend the ribbon cutting ceremony of the largest corn maze on the east coast on Saturday, September 6, at 11 am at The Corn Maze at Kettle Farms on the Troy-Bennington Road in Hoosick, NY.
Capturing Hoosick’s bond with farming and history, the 20-acre corn maze was designed to replicate the train on the old Corkscrew Railroad which ran through this very parcel in the early 1900s. There are four sections to the maze with varying degrees of difficulty. The engine consists of 2.3 miles of trails; the cab, 3.2 miles of trails. The coal car consists of .5 miles of trails and the caboose, 1.8 miles of trails. There is a total of 7.8 miles of trails for those daring enough to venture through the entire maze.
Other venues at The Corn Maze at Kettle Farms include pick your own pumpkins, hay bale maze, corn cannon, pumpkin slingshots and trike track.
On hand for the ribbon cutting event will be Assemblyman Roy McDonald, County Legislators Stan Brownell and Lester Goodermote, Town Supervisor Marilyn Douglas and Board Members Bob Ryan, Mark Cottrell, Kevin O’Malley and Mark Surdam. Other officials are also expected.
Town of Hoosick Supervisor Marilyn Douglas said, “The Corn Maze captures the spirit of the agri-tourism industry and provides a wholesome family experience on this 82-acre farm in the beautiful rolling hills of Hoosick.”
