In honor of the 50th Anniversary of one of the most beloved, quotable, and unforgettable Peanuts television specials of all time, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, Peanuts Worldwide and Robinette's are preparing a once-in-a-lifetime celebration: the creation of a unique corn maze, custom-designed to feature Peanuts themes.

The maze, which will feature The Red Baron Scene, will cover 6.5 acres on The Farm's lot. It will be open from September 8 to November 5th 10am to 5:30pm. In addition to the maze, Robinette's will host a special screening of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown on September 8th at 5pm. Snoopy will also be paying a visit on Saturday, September 24th from 12pm to 4pm.

The venue will also incorporate Great Pumpkin artwork into other areas of their venue, providing the perfect setting for visitor photo ops with the Peanuts characters.

Robinette's is one of more than 80 farms in North America selected by Peanuts Worldwide to create a Great Pumpkin maze this year. Collectively, The Farms-which are part of The MAiZE network and span North America in two countries and 32 states, from California to New York, Canada to Florida-will reach more than 2 million visitors during the fall season.

"The Great Pumpkin and cornfield mazes are two of the world's greatest fall traditions, eagerly anticipated by fans every single year, and we're so excited to bring them together for this landmark anniversary," said Jill Schulz, daughter of Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. "As we prepare to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, it's only fitting that we should find a tribute that's both joyful and visually compelling, just as my father's characters have been for more than 65 years."

"We're thrilled to work with Peanuts Worldwide and The MAiZE, Inc. as we customize our corn maze to celebrate It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," said Ed/Allan Robinette, Owner of Robinette's. "Corn mazes are all about providing a fun and interactive experience for our visitors-even the adults feel like kids again! And that's exactly what Peanuts does: Aren't we all kids again when we see Snoopy and Charlie Brown? This is the perfect match of holiday traditions."

"It's been a huge pleasure for us to collaborate with Peanuts Worldwide and corn farms across North America to design these unique, custom corn mazes," said founder Brett Herbst, The MAiZE, Inc. "We're all fans of Peanuts and the Great Pumpkin, and we're delighted to honor the 50th Anniversary by having the Great Pumpkin, this one time only, rise out of a corn maze!"

Admission to the maze is $7 per person (groups of 15 more with one person paying is $6 per person). For more information, do visit www.Robinettes.com.
