This fall, visitors across the United States and Canada are finding something unexpected in cornfields: enormous portraits of Dolly Parton carved into giant corn mazes.According to The Associated Press, 20 farms are taking part in the tribute, with mazes spread across roughly a dozen states and two Canadian provinces.<\/p>\n
The designs feature Parton\u2019s recognizable appearance, and many locations are adding themed trivia, photo opportunities and other activities for visitors.<\/p>\n
The project had actually been planned months before Parton\u2019s death, but her passing on August 25 gave the tribute a deeper meaning. The organizers are also using the campaign to support Dolly Parton\u2019s Imagination Library, which provides free books to children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One particularly striking example is a 5-acre corn maze in Brookfield, Connecticut, where Parton\u2019s portrait stretches across the field with the words \u201cDolly\u201d and \u201cAn American Treasure.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For families visiting the farms this fall, the experience is more than simply finding their way through a maze. Visitors have been dressing in cowboy hats, boots and Dolly-themed shirts while celebrating the singer\u2019s music and legacy.<\/p>\n The tribute shows just how many different ways fans are finding to remember a beloved American entertainer \u2014 this time, one cornfield at a time. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This fall, visitors across the United States and Canada are finding something unexpected in cornfields: enormous portraits of Dolly Parton carved into giant corn mazes.According to The Associated Press, 20 farms are taking part in the tribute, with mazes spread across roughly a dozen states and two Canadian provinces.
