Godfrey, Illinois, September 19, 2014: The annual Fall Corn Festival will take place on Saturday, September 27 beginning at 11 am at the Glazebrook Park Corn Maze. The 2014 Great Godfrey Maze is a 7-acre adventure into Harry Potter’s Wizarding World for all Muggles to enjoy. The maze consists of two paths cut into a castle, Harry's famous round eye glasses, the deathly hollows symbol, and the name of our Village, GODFREY. The Great Godfrey Maze and all of its regular activities will be open for business along with additional events and activities.

As always, the staff at the Great Godfrey Maze wants to promote a family friendly environment.

“In order to continue providing a positive place for families to enjoy, we would like to remind the public that inappropriate/disruptive behavior and language will not be tolerated.” Mayor McCormick emphasizes.

Any guest who compromises the family environment will be asked to leave the park. Unchaperoned Middle & High School guests will be required to contact a parent for immediate pick-up.

Parks director Kimberly Caughran explains, “We value all the residents who come to visit our beautiful park and will continue to work on ensuring a positive and FUN experience.”

During regular business hours, The Great Godfrey Maze is fully staffed at the Concession stand and the various attractions. However, Godfrey Trustee & Parks and Recreation Board member, Eldon “Twirp” Williams would remind guests that,

“As a municipal park, Glazebrook belongs to everyone. It “takes a Village” (of Godfrey) to safeguard its family friendly environment. Residents are encouraged to help park staff by setting a positive example and encourage those using inappropriate language to be respectful of all park guests.”
