I cannot think of what two circles and one rectangle could make that would be so obscene that a newspaper couldn't print but if someone out there figures it out please let me know.
To the owners: This is terrible! I am so sorry that your maze was vandalized. Even though we live in WVC we will make the trip this year in support of your business. Best wishes for a successful season!

The fact that someone would do this to some of the greatest people in the community makes me sick. I do hope the PG police department catch the pranksters and punish them accordingly. As for Kyle and Chalise I wish them the best and know that they will make the best of the situation.

The clue is 'Anatomically Correct'. And way to make the best of a not-so-good situation.

I am not sure how this costs them over $1,000 in loss. I also don't see how this will affect there business THAT much. Granted if I was in his shoes I would be upset. But don't you anticipate that this is going to happen at some point, not the 'anatomically correct' sketch but someone doing some crop drawing. You hear about these stories all the time. Join the list buddy. There are vandals in every business. Sad but true.

Keep your head up, you just got a load of free publicity. I will pay to come check it out and hit your maze. I am sure that will make up for your $1,000 loss.

Maybe they should refocus their business - surely kids would pay money to come party at a giant 'anatomically' correct field party :)

Couldn't two circles and a rectangle be like a face? Two eyes and a mouth??

What's so obscene about this ancient fertility symbol? During prehistory, people carved this symbol all the time into rock walls, giant earthworks and shrines to ensure the harvest. It's certainly not akin to pouring gasoline into the backyard and lighting a match.

I bet they'll have a bumper crop next year.

To Paul: the $1,000 loss undoubtedly comes from the corn that was flattened and cannot now be harvested. Most corn mazes make money from the crop as well as from the maze traffic.

Why, if this vandalism occurred on Sept. 6, is this story appearing in the paper two and a half weeks later at a time that coincides with the opening of the corn maze to the public?

Is this just a publicity stunt?

Why would someone hurry to go public with something that may be potentially harmful to business? Who knows what they had to deal with...
I am glad they are making the best of things and can't wait to go see what they have added to their maze.
Besides, the owners aren't in question here, it's the people who would be so rude and destructive in trying to damage their business.

No. Utah sees a major earthquake every 350 years. Last one? 350 years ago.
