The Amazing Maize Maze ~ Huntersville, North Carolina

The Amazing Maize Maze ~ Huntersville, North Carolina




Are you ready to wander around a seven acre cornfield with approximately two and a half miles of pathways in a working cornfield? The Amazing Maize Maze at Rural Hill Farm in Huntersville, North Carolina is opening for their 7th season. The maze is an exciting adventure for families, friends, and groups to experience and explore. By working together you can explore the paths and solve the clues to make it through the maze.

Throughout the maze cool water is available and concessions are also available on site. The maze is designed to be navigated in 1-2 hours. Be sure to wear sunscreen and appropriate clothing , and shoes. Strollers and wagons are permitted. Handicap accessible restroom facilities are available.

Each season a theme is selected, one that represents the historical relevance of Rural Hill. This year's theme is the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. Before you start your journey you will receive instructions from the First United States Congress regarding the rules and tools of this new frontier. James Madison is at the Victory Bridge (which you will pass over upon completion) to help travelers in need and at the maze tower, Thomas Jefferson is available to point you in the right direction. This year’s design of the maze offers symbols within such as spectacles, a quill pen, ink well, and the Constitution Scroll with “We the People” written on it.

Kudo's To Lowes' . . . Going GREENER





Kudo’s To Lowes’ . . . Going GREENER




Okay, I’m excited! Most will think I have totally flipped to be excited about this, but I am. This weekend I was in Lowes Home Improvement and saw that they are trying to go GREENER. They now offer reusable shopping bags and they are quality ones at that.







Lowes originally was started in North Wilkesboro, NC but has since moved to Mooresville, NC. It is really nice to see companies seeing the importance of trying to get away from the use of plastic shopping bags.


Seeing turtles dying from mistakenly eating plastic bags is all it took for me. Since then 95% of the time we take our own reusable shopping bags when we shop. The other 5% we mistakenly forget them and either purchase more bags or carry the items out to the car.

My Backyard is Growing Again ~ Chesterbrook Academy is OPEN!


My Backyard is Growing Again ~ Chesterbrook Academy is OPEN!

We are growing again here in Denver, NC at Lake Norman. Yes, I understand that you may have a Chesterbrook Academy in your backyard but this is the first for our backyard! In 1985, when I moved to the area there was only one daycare (that was open from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM for infants to pre-k) for children in Denver and that was Our Gang Day Care. If you were a full-time working mother working eight hours a day and you didn't get a spot at Our Gang, you would have had to creatively find a place for your child or children. Mind you that this was a time before employers offered daycare for their employees; i.e: Bank of America and Wachovia. But as the years have pasted Ms. Ems was added, then Mini Academy Day Care, and others.

Chesterbrook offers care for infant to Pre-K2. They are currently accepting enrollment for the 2008/2009 school year. Open House is August 9th from 10:00 Am to 1:00 PM. For more information please check their website out Denver's Chesterbrook Academy.

Denver (LAKE NORMAN) ~ Lincoln County Property Tax/Fire District Tax/Sewer Tax




This year was the year that Lincoln County did property revaluations. Yes, most people have seen a HUGE increase and few have seen little or none. Due to the increase Lincoln County Commissioners have set the new tax rate at .57 per $100 valuation; which is four cents less. Commissioners had hoped to set the rate at .50 per $100, but in May voters approved a $44 million school bond referendum and rejected a quarter cent sales tax increase to fund it.
Commissioners approved changes in the local fire district taxes, too. East Lincoln and Denver property owners should check with their insurance companies for possible rate reductions due to improved fire service ratings.
Even though East Lincoln Sewer District is currently tapped out people in this district will see a reduction in their tax rate to two cents per $100 valuation.
