Get lost.  And have a blast doing it.  

The annual corn maze at Long & Scott Farm opens on October 3.  The popular seasonal attraction reportedly brings in an estimated 1500-2000 weekend visitors.

A police car, fire truck and ambulance are cut into pathways in the 7-acre corn maze to convey this year's salute to first-responders.   Visitors that dare can enter the maze and attempt to find their way out of the tall and twisting corn field.  No need to panic.  It's a friendly day of fun and before an anxiety attack kicks in, participants can raise a flag to surrender and be promptly rescued.   

There is also a one-acre corn maze for smaller guests, plus a 3-acre live Tree Maze in the shape on an ear of corn.  The popular attraction also includes an over-sized jumping pillow, 60' super slide, kids' zip line, covered picnic areas, tree maze, mist maze, hayrides, rope maze, country market and cafe.

Scott's Maze Adventure is open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.)between September 30 and Dec. 10.   It is recommended to get there early to avoid long lines.  Latest entry is 3 p.m.  The farm is located at 26216 County Road 448A, Mount Dora.  

Large groups can make reservations for admission on Tuesdays-Fridays.  Admission is $12, children 3 and under are free.  ​  First-responders get in free with their I.D. and their family members get in at half price.

Passerine:
This music is between modern folk, progressive bluegrass, and what is loosely called “Americana.” With original songs as well as their own arrangements of traditional songs, Passerine carries on the living tradition of acoustic folk music rooted in popular experience. www.passerinemusic.net

Remedy Tree:
This band is blazing their own trail in the field of indie Americana. A little bit of bluegrass, indie attitude and combination of male and female vocals reminiscent of ages past mix together for a modern and traditional sound all on one. www.remedytreemusic.com
