Every spring since 2013, Chris Scouler has been creating corn mazes on his property at Bulldog Park Corn Maze in Rockhaven.
This spring, Scouler contacted Saskatchewan Elks president, Eugene Hartter, and asked if they could work together on a corn maze for the Elks. Scouler has been an active Elks member of Cut Knife lodge for more than 20 years. Hartter contacted the national office of Elks and they sent out two pictures to use to create the Elks of Canada maze theme. Scouler put the two pictures to work on the field.
A visit to the Bulldog Corn Maze Sunday revealed amble parking and a vendor selling jams, vegetables and pickled treasures set up at the gate.
There is an admission charge, but children under four can tour the maze free. Pictures with the kids as corn or a scarecrow made the entrance and atmosphere come alive. There was a petting zoo with goats lounging in the sun.
Elks members from Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., Nipawin, Moose Jaw, Moosomin, Cut Knife, North Battleford and Wilkie attended the opening day.
鈥淚t has been a really good turnout for Chris Scouler and his corn maze here today with lots of local people, children and Elks and that is what is all about.鈥� Hartter said.
A drone was released overhead to take pictures of the event. Images will be posted on the Elks of Canada website.
