Sunny Day, Sweepin' the clouds away. On my way to where the air is sweet ... (and corn too!) What better way to celebrate Sesame Streeet's 40th anniversary than in a field of fun. This year, Hunter Brothers have sculpted the likeness of Ernie and Bert, Big Bird, Elmo and the Cookie Monster in their six acre corn field. Ten Sesame Street trivia questions are hidden and will test the knowledge of Sesame Street fans both big and little.	Go Habs Go! In 2009, to pay hommage to one hundred years of great Montreal Canadiens hockey, Hunter Brothers superimposed the likeness of the great Jean Béliveau on a giant "100" to mark the Montreal Canadiens's centennial season. In a personal phone call to Chip, Jean Béliveau graciously declined an invitation to visit the maze but repeatedly thanked Hunter for this great tribute. CBC Mtl radio interview NB Fall Getaway TV Ad
UNB Forestry What better way to celebrate one of New Brunswick's resources than with another. 2008 was the University of New Brunswick's Faculty of Forestry's Centennial year, so Hunter Brothers' corn maze featured a lumberjack, axe in hand, walking along side his ox. Chip and Tom's father, Borden Hunter, and their beloved Uncle Art were both proud alumni.	Would it, could it, feature a cat? In 2007, to pay homage to the 50th anniversary of The Cat in the Hat, Hunter Brothers carved out Dr. Seuss’ loveable Cat in the act of balancing on a ball with his rambunctious friends Thing 1 and Thing 2 underfoot while the Fish in a Pot is precariously perched on the handle of an umbrella.
Grannies Helping Grannies Our 2006 maze featured the African continent with the logo created by the Go Go Grannies in Creston, B.C. to support the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign. This Stephen Lewis Foundation initiative encourages Canadian grandmothers to unite and support their African peers who are now left with the responsibility of raising their grandchildren as a result of the AIDS pandemic in Africa. Hunter Brothers Farm donated a portion of their maze proceeds to this cause and encouraged maze adventurers to do the same. The National Stephen Lewis Foundation	Happy 100th Birthday! Our 2005 maze was a tribute to the Alberta and Saskatchewan's Centennial Year featuring the outline of both provinces and their Centennial logo in the middle of each province. A large "1905" can be seen at the top and its "2005" counterpart at the bottom of the maze. It was our most elaborate undertaking yet requiring over 2200 connect-the-dot coordinates.

How do we do it?!
Most people think that we actually PLANT the corn in the maze design but it is actually much simpler (and complex) than that. First we decide upon the design and consult surveyor,  Trevor Welch, who then starts to map out the design. Then the 5-acre field is prepared and planted with regular cow corn; it is less expensive than sweet corn and grows taller. Once the corn plants start to sprout, the real work begins. The engineers come in with their "map" of the field (with GPS coordinates) and flag hundreds of spots in the field - kind of like a giant connect the dots. Then the Hunter crew, equipped with a backpack sprayer, goes into the field and sprays the corn which needs to be killed (not there) to make the design. It takes several days to get all the spraying done and we are never sure of the results until some one flies over the field and takes an aerial photograph.

In order to make visiting the maze safe and fun for everyone, the maze is made up of large paths. The objective is not to find your way out, but rather to find and answer all ten multiple choice questions. New in 2004 was an observation tower from which maze goers can check things out!
