A-Mazing Apple Picking for Justice! October 18, 2008

Want to cross-promote your events and campaigns while trying to find your way through a huge maze? Have you been searching for like-minded progressives to go apple picking with? Are you new to the area and looking for groups to get involved in? If so, join Socializing for Justice for a day awesome autumn activities!

This weekend, on October 18th, we're headed to Sterling, MA to experience a huge corn maze and lots of fun apple picking. Come get out of the city to enjoy a carefree day and the cool October air. We will help arrange carpools from the Boston area! E-mail [email protected] for more information and help finding a ride.

At Davis Farmland in Sterling, MA, they build an enormous corn maze every year. The designer, Adrian Fisher, is a world-renowned/guiness record holder maze creater.

This year's theme is Olympic Gold and is unrivaled in terms of complexity. It contains miles of pathways, bridges, and the world's first and only double-decker bridge. As if that didn't make it complex enough, Davis' Mega Maze is the only field maze in the world that has the capacity to change every day. There are hundreds of ways to complete the maze and the experience will never be the same twice.

Another first at Davis' Mega Maze is X-treme Mazing which offers extra goals, challenges and choices not found in a typical maze. In addition to the traditional meandering style of solving a maze, guests can now personally tailor their maze experience to their own level of intensity.

This maze is designed for adults, although older children will enjoy it as well. It can take anywhere from 35 minutes to 3 hours. Once we've made our way through the maze, we'll kick back for a little apple picking and conversation. At Socializing for Justice (SoJust) events you can hang out with friends, make new ones, find a date, get the scoop on a job, and find out what's going on this weekend - political or social. And the best part is that SoJust members share your vision of building a more just world. We've got members of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, levels of activism and professions. We hope you see someone like yourself and meet someone you otherwise wouldn't have.

Cost: Adult 13-59 $16.95,
Kids 5-12 $12.95, Seniors 60+ $12.95, Kids under 5 Free
