Key Points:
- Employees at Robinette's Apple Haus & Winery in Grand Rapids have been preparing a 6.5-acre corn maze set to open Tuesday, designed as a tribute to the late Dolly Parton, who passed away recently at age 80.
- The maze, featuring Parton's likeness along with her name, a butterfly, a guitar, and music notes, was designed in July before her death, making the tribute unexpectedly poignant for the family farm.
- Robinette's maze is one of 20 across the U.S. and Canada created by The MAiZE Inc. in honor of Parton, with a portion of proceeds supporting her Imagination Library nonprofit that provides free books to children.
- Visitors can enjoy interactive games, photo opportunities, storytelling, and music themed around Dolly Parton while exploring the maze, which is open throughout September and October.
- Tickets cost $10.50 per person with free entry for children under 3 and group discounts available; more information and hours can be found at robinettes.com.
