the U.S.), and the world’s best
attended with over
120,000 trekking through the
stalks since 1996. Called
“Liberty Bell in the Land of
Liberty,” this year’s maze
opened its stalks to the public
on July 9 and in spite of the
recent drought has been going
strong ever since. The 5-acre
maze (there are 2.3 miles of
pathways) shows the Liberty
Bell within an outline of the
state of Pennsylvania, with
huge stars in each comer rep
resenting Philadelphia, the
Poconos and Pittsburgh areas.
It is set off by a spectacular
15,570-sq.-ft. American flag
created out of 14,000 red,
white and blue petunias.
Fussells’ Aug. 12-14th
appearance is part of a full
roster of special events
planned each week through
Oct. 30th. From Aug. 10-14,
the maze will also offer a dis
play of antique gas engines,
including one that will be
making ice cream throughout
