The MAiZE is a great Portland tradition that began in 1999 as a great and "weird" idea. It is a giant puzzle carved into a towering cornfield that has become a classic fall event for tens of thousands of visitors craving adventure and laughter and to connect with life on a family farm. Portlander Craig Easterly, creator of the annual giant-sized maze at The Pumpkin Patch, created a design this year that celebrates Portland and its beautiful cityscape and surroundings. The "Bridgetown MAiZE" at The Pumpkin Patch features the city's bridges, rivers, mountains and outdoor spirit. Easterly promises that crossing the newly built Sauvie Island Bridge, and finding The Pumpkin Patch, is the easy part. Finding your way out of the 5-acre labyrinth will be both a physical and mental challenge for kids of all ages to enjoy.
