The Rural Voice, 2002-08, Page 21Clouds drift past last year's maze

things that are not a problem after all
— especially for their safety — but it
really went very well. It was a really
good experience."
Attendance last year varied
greatly according to the day of the
week. It depends on the weather,
Nelly says. Long weekends were the
busiest time, especially holiday
Mondays. "It was busy all day."
The success of the maze ties in
with the wealth of activities in
the region, Nelly says. It's not
often that the whole family can come
to an attraction and find something
for everyone especially if there's an
age difference between children,
Nelly says. People can tour the maze
or labyrinths and then move on to
other area attractions from farmers
markets to live theatre.
They're prepared for large crowds
with two and a half acres set aside
for parking. When people arrived at
the farm last year, the family
members would sell them tickets,
then go out to explain to them the
options they had in touring the maze.
This year they hope to have more
self -guided tours using written
instructions.
The operation is a family affair.
Their son Benjamin who is going off
to college this year and a daughter,
Jasmin, in high school, both help out
when the summer crowds arrive.
Ernst's mother Marie and brother
Martin also help out.
"So everybody has a part," says
Nelly.
As well as the maze, visitors can
visit two labyrinths which mirror the
trials of life: taking the wrong path,
