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.

Now go out and have some FUN .... see you in the MAZE!

DENVER is CLOSE TO SEEING ~ SALLY'S YMCA ~ (LAKE NORMAN, NC)

Denver is getting a YMCA ~ Sally's Y

Denver is in the process of getting a YMCA! It is something that I have heard since they finished the Lincolnton YMCA several years ago; even with the rapid growth in the Denver area there wasn't an urgency until David and Jo Clark got involved.

On April 4, 2004, their only daughter Sally McKenzie Clark and her cousin Anna Grace Jordan were tragically killed in a car accident by a drunk driver. Both girls were only 19 at the time, with a lifetime of plans and dreams ahead of them.

After Sally's death, her family and friends decided to create a lasting memorial in her honor. They wanted to not only remember her life, but they also wanted to celebrate what she loved. With Sally's love of God and passion for sports and the outdoors Sally's parents came up with the idea to build a YMCA in her name. Included will be a Chapel in Anna Grace Jordan's name. Jo Clark and other members of Grace's family have contributed the money for the memorial.

With this David and Jo Clark have donated about 50 acres off of Optimist Club Road at the new four-lane Highway 16; said to be worth around $1,000,000 for the proposed site. Along with this they are donating their share of the wrongful-death lawsuit settlement estimated at $283,000. YMCA supporters have already raised close to $6 million of the $7 million they need to raise before construction on the building can begin.

The next scheduled fundraiser for Sally's Y. Will be a dinner theater; the event is the play "Chicago" which will be presented by Grant Ewing and the Verdict Ridge Backyard Players.

The Dates: September 19 - 20, 2008
Time: 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Location: Verdict Ridge, Denver, NC
Event Cost: TBD
Contact Info: (704) 489-6881
