Carol: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corn Cross for the kids was a huge success. We had over 120 kids and 80% of these kids are ages 2-16 that came from Sandy. The kids course was longer this year with more time in the corn maze. Thanks to Coach Robbie with his skills and bringing his obstacles and air bags, the kids were challenging themselves on these fun obstacles. This was the first year Northwest Trails Alliance came to be part of Corn Cross. They gave out medals to all the kids. Parents were so excited to have the kids go through the maze and have it more challenging. Everfresh & CCB were our sponsors for this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
