Yes, just yesterday I said that I would be spending the entire weekend in the Cemetery garage, working away on this year's prop list... but sunny skies and 80 degree temperatures in October in Northeast Ohio was just too good of an opportunity to pass up. So we jumped into the car and headed down to Szalay's Farm in the Cuyahoga Valley to experience their annual Halloween festivities: carton after carton of incredible pumpkins, freshly grilled corn on the cob straight from their cornfields, a market full of fresh fall fruits and vegetables, a hayride, various Halloween photo opportunities, their spinning vortex tunnel, and most of all, their annual corn maze!
The weather brought people out from all corners and the entire place was packed, but the Fall and Halloween vibes were in full swing and we still had a blast. I must have been in an extra good mood because I even shelled out for some expensive giant, gnarly pumpkins for this year's display!
The best, of course, was their corn maze, laid out in the shape of a dragon with eight stations set up with different movie-themed scenes. The corn was tall this year so it almost felt like walking through a corn tunnel as we followed the map.
After walking the entire maze and visiting each scene, we headed home with our goodies. And, I was still able to get back in time to finish up a really great prop for this year's display (I CANNOT WAIT to share this one with you!)

Love that skeleton marching band!
Looks like a lot of fun. Are we gonna get a picture of those gnarly pumpkins?
@Lady M - Maaaaaybe. Or maybe after I carve 'em up with some creepy faces! :)
Sadly we never have something that big in the UK.
Man, I have to get back to Szalay's at least one more time before they close! I've never been through their corn maze or vortex.
