Pim's Corn Maze... Not Just for Night-time

Submitted by on Tue, 10/02/2007 - 20:44. Neighbors

Just up the road a bit past Emmanuel Baptist Church, take a right towards Bennetsville... then a right onto the Dovesville Highway (you'll see a sign for Pim's Farm), and look for this:

You've found Pim's Corn Maze!

I took some kids up there this Sunday after church, and boy oh boy is that a beautiful farm.

Here's the gang in the cow-train...

The sweetest horse ever! The farm also has goats, sheep, and some sweet bunnies.

Pretty hot day for September the 30th, but we went in anyway...

We had to bribe the 5-year-old with us with promises of a nice, cold soda when we finally got out of the maze....it's a long walk for a little person!

We received a sheet with 10 clues to help us make the right turns at the appropriately marked number post, there's a separate list of clues for church groups that had scripture related to mazes and corn.
After we made it out alive (which, trust me, 40 minutes in a corn maze is a long, long walk in the heat!) we had fun doing the "Duck Race"

Then a nice relaxing time talking in the rocking chairs in the covered barn area drinking the promised cold soda. One young man told me, "This is the most relaxed I've been all week."

Older kids and youth would love to go when in the dark, make sure to bring flashlights!!!

The owner took us on a nice wagon ride around the property, and showed us the walking trails and the tree identification path with 10 local trees.

The covered barn area is large and attractive with tons of long tables and benches. The area can be rented out for cook-outs, family reunions, etc.; another Hartsville church was renting it out that later afternoon.
