LA PLATA, MO --
With autumn in full swing, people are flocking to the Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze at Jackson Country Connections near La Plata, Missouri to enjoy some fall activities.
KTVO’S Eden Derby, Emily Finnegan, and Ashley Smith headed out to Jackson Country Connections Sunday. We had a great time checking out the corn maze, which is cut in the shape of a train in honor of La Plata's history with the railroad.
The owners hired a professional corn maze designer to cut the maze, and are thrilled with how it turned out.
“We linked with individuals who are doing this same kind of thing all across the nation, so they served as our mentors. It’s a first time effort and we're quite pleased. We're a-‘mazed’ with the reception we’ve received," said Owner Andrea Jackson.
Visitors can also enjoy other family activities like hay rides, a bounce house, and a corn cannon. Jackson Country Connections is open every Friday and Sunday from noon until 6 pm and on Saturdays from 10 am until 6 pm.
The corn maze will be open through November 2.
