This year is falling away quicker than El Paso can say corn conundrum at this year’s La Union Corn Maze.

The pumpkin patch was alive this weekend on October 6, with children, laughs, carnival food, and pig races. 

The La Union seems to be doing well in business. 

Western Tech Community College in El Paso and Las Cruces sponsored the maze, making this year’s theme about the education routes Western Tech has to offer.

The rows and rows of corn towered over all its visitors, giving the real feeling of autumn in the borderland.

Ranking in the top 25 corn mazes in the country according to KTSM, it’s hard not to get lost in the labyrinth of corn stalks. 

The pumpkin patch is also still ripe with great candidates for a household Jack-o-lantern. 

The delicious roasted corn brings a familiar tradition within the community down in the borderland.

La Union is filled with fun things, from the jumping pillow, slides all around the park, climbing rope, and the carnival games; they guarantee a good time. 

Open until November 3, there is still plenty of time to catch them during their business hours on Fridays from 5 p.m. – 10 p.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. – 10  p.m., and Sundays from 12 p.m. – 6 p.m.

Come down to hang out at a Borderland tradition of fall festivities and food.
