There is plenty of fall fun to be had throughout Indiana, and a great example of this takes place every year at Beasley’s Orchard and Gardens in Danville, Indiana. The 2006 Heartland Apple Festival will take place on October 7, 8, 14 and 15 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.

Gate admission is just $5 per vehicle. There are plenty of fun activities and fall food. Take a hayride to the pumpkin patch, visit the arts and crafts tent or check out some of the live entertainment.

If you’re the adventurous sort The MAiZE craze at Beasley's challenges you this year to awild jungle adventure! Can you imagine getting lost in a jungle in the middle of Indiana? Well, you can, if the "jungle" is a vast field of corn! King Korn will get you lost in his jungle of corn as you move through the twists, turns, and dead ends carved into eight acres of corn.

The MAiZE will be open for the season from September 15 to October 29. Hours of operation are 10AM to 5PM on Fridays and Saturdays, and on Sundays from Noon- 5PM.

Maze designer Brett Herbst, the world's leading professional designer of corn mazes, hopes to challenge the wits of those seeking to find the one exit from his mind-boggling puzzle. Even though the correct pathway can be walked in only 15-20 minutes, most wandering maze-goers will require about one hour to travel through more than four miles of trails.

Cost for this unique source of good farmin' fun and thrills is $6 for ages 12 and up, $5 for ages 6-11, and free for kids 5 and under. -

MAiZE adventures can be scheduled for groups of 15 or more at a discounted rate. The MAiZE can also be combined with one of our field trip adventures to the orchard or pumpkin patch for large groups. An array of concessions will be available on the weekends in October. For more information, call Beasley’s at 317-745-4876 or visit www.beasleys-orchard.com.
