La Union Corn Maze celebrated its 25th anniversary in Doña Ana County, NM, with various activities open to the public from September 21st to November 3rd, 2024.
The corn maze marked its 25th anniversary with a special tradition of creating unique designs for its 13-acre maze, featuring a commemorative “La Union Corn Maze 25th Anniversary” design.
La Union offered guests a variety of attractions, including a pumpkin patch, jumping pillows, slides, pig races, and rides.
One of the popular attractions of the corn maze was its pumpkin patch, accessible by wagon ride, where guests could pick pumpkins for $0.70 per pound.
They offered a wide range of food and drink selections, such as nachos, hot dogs, turkey legs, hamburgers, chicken fritters, churros, corn, and lemonade.
Field trips or large parties were welcomed at La Union; moreover, Loretto Academy’s Elementary School took a family trip on October 3, 2024.
Nazareth Barraza, a first grader in elementary school said, “I had fun with my friends and I got a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch that I painted.”
Many of the guests were happy and had a great time spending time with the Loretto Academy community.
