Swiss Lick Swissies

Corn Maze, anyone?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009 | Dogs, Random Stuff

A Swissy person, who like me, is always looking for new places to walk their Swissy (aka Vasey), told me about this place south of Chicago. It’s called Konow’s Corn Maze, and is in Homer Glen.

This place looks really stinking cool. It’s basically a 10 foot high maze made from corn stalks. And they will let well-mannered dogs walk it with their humans. On leash, I will assume. The maze is on 10 acres of land, and has up to 3.5 miles of twists and turns through the maze.

They also have more kid-centered things to do, like hayrides, a tryke track, and a jumping pillow. (Between you and me, I’m going to try to get on that pillow. Without a dog, of course.)

They have an admission fee, but it’s not too expensive. And they have a $1 off coupon on their website, so it really boils down to about $7 per person over the age of 8.

So, we’re trying it in a week or so. It’s not around for ever. I think next weekend. If there are any Chicago-area people out there who want to join, send me a note and I’ll give you date and time details.

I’m off for a long weekend in California tomorrow, so I will not be posting for a couple of days. Have a great weekend, everyone!

I wish we could go… if only to “accidentally” lose Maxine in the middle of the maze and have to go on without her.

Take lots of pictures for me! Inspired by you, I am going to see if any of the corn mazes in our area are dog friendly.
