Aw shucks: Maize Days 2024 is over

by | Oct 10, 2024 | Latest

A brother and sister prepare for a Ballistic ride spin at Murphy’s 15th Annual Maize Days.

Call it corny, but Murphy’s 15th Annual Maize Days festival in Central Park had more things to do than kernels on a foot-long ear of corn.

New this year was a $10 all-you-can-ride wrist band helping to move along the crowd eagerly waiting their turn.

Rides in a midway behind PSA Murphy offering a 42-foot Ferris wheel giving a magnificent view of the whole, happy event. A carousel and Heart Flip were also on the midway while the Ballistic and Pirate’s Revenge were out on the main field along with a large bounce pad, an inflatable corn maze and Gelly Ball.
