The corn maze first opened in 2005. This year, owners Rich and Debbie Norz, are dedicating the maze design to Hillsborough's 250th anniversary by featuring the words "Hillsborough 1771" in the cornfield.

The corn maze offers more than two miles of paths spreading over five acres of the farm on South Branch Road in Hillsborough.

"We are looking forward to officially opening the corn maze with the Norz family as well as my Mayor for the Day, Adeline Eick. Please come out and support the Norz family and their amazing fall festival," said Lipani.

Also featured during the fall festival are farm animals, farm tours, hayrides, pumpkin picking, and the farm market. The farm market includes a variety of apples, jams, jellies, pies, breads, apple cider donuts, apple cider, corn stalks, Fall/Halloween crafts, farm-raised beef, pork, and eggs.

Norz Hill Farm's Scare Farm recently opened on Sept. 24 with three spooky attractions, Creepy Hollow, Paranoia Walking Trails and The Slayride-Hayride.

The Norz Hill Farm Fall Harvest Days runs daily through Oct. 31. Fall hours at the farm are noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
