‘THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL: MAGIC OF WALKING’ OPEN UNTIL VETERANS DAY BY CHENOA PIERCE VILLAGER STAFF WRITER THOMPSON — When you think corn maze, do you usually think October, autumn or Halloween? Kristin Orr, of Fort Hill Farms in Thompson, said she hears those words all the time when she speaks to people about her corn maze, but she insists this is not the case when it comes to her maze. “This is not a Halloween maze. It’s not an October maze. It’s an educational maze,” she said. An educational maze indeed. For the fifth year in a row, the Fort Hill Farms Educational Corn Maze adventure, which opened Aug. 15, will send families on a journey that will allow them to test their knowledge and learn something new along the way. Chenoa Pierce photos “We’re the most educational maze in the country,” said Orr. A typical view of the inside of the 14-foot-high corn maze. Last year, 10,000 visitors were taken on a journey along the rivers of the United States. This year, maze entrepreneurs will learn all about the sights and sounds of the Appalachian Trail and the 14 states it runs through in a maze called “The Appalachian Trail: Magic of Walking.” Covering eight acres of land, the maze is shaped to look like an L.L Bean hiker. The maze takes navigators from the highest peaks Maine and New Hampshire all the way down the Georgia and everywhere in between. Visitors are given a card featur- ing trivia on the various points highlight- ed in the maze and, upon completion of the maze, each participant receives a map of the Appalachian Trail. Orr had 10,000 game cards made and has 10,000 maps from the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. The maze is navigator-friendly, Orr said, adding, “Every path is lined with ribbon, so we’re not a ‘corn-fusing’ maze.” This sign, posted at the beginning of the corn maze, shows what the maze looks The colored ribbon is significant like from above. because, as navigators make their way around the maze, the ribbon colors chang- ing, informing the patrons that they are on the right path. That way, you know “you’re making progress,” said Orr. In addition to teaching maze-goers about the Appalachian Trail, Orr is using the maze to teach them about conservation as A view of the Fort Hill Farm corn maze from atop of one its two bridges. well.

The X6 Is One BMW That Should Have Difficulty Selling Because of Its Odd Looks

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Recently in my online newsletter for my website, usedcars.about.com, I wrote, “For some reason, Porsche hates New England (at least the automotive journalists that work there).” That prompted my editor to write, “Isn’t BMW the ultimate snob manufacturer?” Well, I respectfully disagreed with him because of Porsche’s continued “holier than thou” atti- tude (New England is disdained by the manufacturer because it only sells 1200 of its 34,000 vehi- cles here annually in the U.S.). That strikes me as a bit snobby. Plus, BMW has produced the X6. No manufacturer in its right mind could produce a vehicle this ugly and put on snobbish airs. I don’t call this the X6.
