September8.2010 'Portiani! OObseruer PaSe 11 INIIIIAINMEM Cornfield Maze Family Tradition Since 1999, thousands of people have attended the Portland MAiZe at the Pumpkin Patch on Swan Is­ land during the month of October. The 12th annual event is popular fun-filled family tradition. This year’s Heart in Oregon maze will be offer­ ing the usual exciting physical and mental challenges of previous ver­ sions, with the added bonus of fol­ lowing your heart to the actual “heart” within the maze. People have fun without a map of the maze, but Portland MAiZe staff will happily provide a “passport” that holds trivia, which, if answered correctly, will guide maze-goers correctly through the mile or so of twists, turns, and dead ends. Spe­ cial for this year’s maze, a Heart in Oregon passport will test visitors’ knowledge about Oregon. Saturday, Sept. 11, the MAiZE will offer free admission to all veter­ ans and public service personnel with valid I.D. as a way to say thanks for all their hard work and sacrifice. For m ore inform ation, visit portlandmaze.com or call 503-621 - 7110.
