Corn Maze Newest Attraction in Smoky Lake Michelle Pinon News Advertiser September 18 was opening day for the Kinette Club’s corn maze in Smoky Lake. It is the town’s newest attraction and will be open on weekends until the end of October. Kinette Club Vice President Tanya Trenchuk and Past President Elena Jarema were on hand to greet visitors and said the corn maze wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of Delmor Huchulak who offered the land to the club for the corn maze. He donated seven acres of land in total, and all of the input and labour costs were donated by local companies. “Without the sponsors we wouldn’t have been able to do this,” said Jarema. “All of the seed, fertilizer, equipment, and labour were donated,” added Trenchuk. Altogether, they estimate the costs to be in the neighbourhood of $3,500.

As to why club members, eight in total, wanted to do the project? Trenchuk said, “We wanted to bring a new attraction to the community.” Besides giving young families something to do, it also gives the club the opportunity to fundraise for future community-based projects.

They are also helping out the Grade 12 class from H.A. Kostash School, who will be hosting a haunted Halloween themed event Oct. 30 and 31 to raise funds for next year’s graduation. As far as what the Kinette Club plans to do with proceeds from the corn maze? Trenchuk and Jarema said they would like to continue to build on some of the attractions at KinPark which currently features a playground, pickle ball court, skate park, spray park, and gazebo. Once the corn maze is closed for the season the corn will be harvested into sileage.
