Corn Maze

The business, featuring one of the first corn maze's in the U.S., was developed by Sever and Sharon Peterson, who now work side-by-side with their son and his wife and their daughter and soon-to-be son-in-law. 

Daughter-in-law, Nicola Peterson, says the whole idea of what is now a successful, year-round business, sprouted in the mind of an English exchange student who was accustomed to seeing the hedge mazes so common to her country's castles.

Chainsaw Art

Bob King, from Puyallup, Wash., is a member of the Echo Chainsaw Carving team—the only such team, he admits, in the country.  But there will be plenty of competition there in Chetwynd.  "There's a set of rules that we follow to carve by," he explains.  "Typically a theme, and we have a certain timeframe to carve in over a certain period, a number of days.  We work towards a difficulty level, artistic impact and design, and a few other things that we will keep in mind as we carve."
