Hay Maze through October

The City of Ennis, Parks and Rec and the creative aerosol paint and design of Ben Vyers have made the Hay Maze a great attraction downtown. Use caution in the area when smoking.

Added lighting and video surveillance are a plus, especially considering the foot traffic of children and families, let alone a warning to vandals. The display of hay and pumpkins have been the target of night damage, hence the cameras, improved lighting and added eyes.
