Corn Maze When: September 5 - November 1, 2009 Where: Lyman Orchards, Middlefield, Connecticut From Lyman Orchards Website: "Explore Lyman's 10th Annual Corn Maze...an American journey where the past meets the present in one of America's oldest family-owned farms. This season marks our 10th Maze Anniversary, and we had to make it special. No matter where you stand politically, last year's Presidential election was historic and points out the remarkable changes our country has witnessed over the course of its history. Not only are we are honoring our country's Commanders-In-Chief during the entire maze season, but we are also expressing our appreciation for the commitment of the American people to the democratic process. The past meets the present in a configuration creatively designed and carved by Guiness World Record maze designer Brett Herbst. Featuring portraits of Presidents George Washington and Barack Obama, the maze stands as an agricultural tribute to our nation's leaders. In addition to the two Presidents featured in the design, every one of the 44 American Presidents will be recognized during the maze season, starting on September 5 with George Washington Day, and concluding on November 1 with Barack Obama Day. On Halloween, Oct. 31, we take a break from the individual tributes and invite you to come dressed as your favorite President!

The Haunted Graveyard When: October 2-31, 2009 Where: Lake Compounce Theme Park, Bristol, Connecticut Michelle McCleary of The Journal Inquirer: "It takes a certain kind of genius or insanity to create a haunted graveyard like the one that Lake Compounce just acquired. Perhaps the most unnerving (and therefore most successful) aspect of the attraction is trying to figure out which phantom is alive and which is simply there for ambience while you stumble around in the dark. After a few thought-to-be-inanimate objects jump out from dark corners, the thought of what might be around the next turn can be terrifying."

Many of the artists return annually to the Morristown CraftMarket bringing their one-of-a-kind, critically acclaimed pieces to a loyal and discerning audience drawn from the Northeast. Held in Morris County, the Morristown CraftMarket is an annual show of artistic, yet functional, craft items. Each year, thousands of craft artists are invited to display, first by offering digital images of their work to a jury of their peers. All artists in the 2008 show will be chosen by this jury with the exception of exempted members of our jury and up to twelve artists who may be included for purposes of show balance. The jury then selects approximately 145 artists who will be invited to participate in the 32nd annual Morristown CraftMarket. The show is run by the Kiwanis Club of Randolph Township. Literally thousands of volunteer hours are put into the planning and management of the CraftMarket. All net proceeds of the show benefit local charities."
