America selected by Peanuts
Worldwide to create a Peanuts
maze this year. Collectively, the
farms—which span 35 states
and provinces, from California
to New York, Ontario to Tex-
as—are expected to attract more
than two million visitors. “For 75
years, Peanuts has charmed, de-
lighted, and moved fans through
my father’s creativity and wit—
and what a wonderful way to
celebrate his work than with the
ingenuity of these Peanuts corn
mazes!” says Jill Schulz, daugh-
ter of Charles Schulz. “It will
be a thrill to see Charlie Brown,
Snoopy and the gang rising from
the heartland, and I just wish my
dad could see his creations ‘writ
large’.” “We’re thrilled to work
with Peanuts Worldwide and The
MAiZE to bring Schulz’ char-
acters to life in our corn maze,”
says Craig Easterly, owner of The
MAiZE at the Pumpkin Patch
on Sauvies Island. “Visitors will
love interacting with Snoopy and
the gang in a hands-on way they
may never have experienced be-
fore! We’re honored to help cele-
brate the 75th anniversary events
commemorating Charles Schulz
and Peanuts.”
“After the tremendous success
of our 2016 collaboration, when
millions of visitors in communi-
ties around the world visited the
Peanuts-themed corn mazes, it’s
a privilege and a delight to once
again partner with Peanuts World-
wide in honor of their 75 years,”
says founder of The MAiZE, Brett
Herbst. “We salute the genius of
Charles Schulz and couldn’t be
happier to celebrate this milestone
by bringing families together to
create new and lasting memories.”
