Cost - $11.00 No outside food or drink To help celebrate our Christmas trees being ready to cut this December, we decided to honor this family tradition with our 6 acre corn maze design. Yes! Finally they are ready! This year we have added 3 new maze games for your amazing adventure. These games will be something that all the family will enjoy and keep the kids even more entertained. As you journey through our maze, see if you can find all the signs of the brain teasers called "CORNunbrums" . These are signs with corny sayings, but you have to figure out what they mean; i.e., Pigs in a Blanket, Hog Wash, Duck Tape, etc. But we're not giving away ALL the answers! Dewberry Farm Directions and Map to the Farm
Do not use mapquest, google or gps to find the farm Those who RSVP before 11 AM on Sunday will get an email with my cell phone number, so we can meet at the farm.
To avoid standing in line, buy your tickets up front online or at HEB.

Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine for twenty years, is the most powerful and polarizing figure in fashion. Hidden behind her trademark bob and sunglasses, she has never allowed anyone to scrutinize the inner workings of her magazine. Until now. With unprecedented access, filmmaker R.J. Cutler's new film does for fashion what he did for politics in The War Room, taking the viewer inside a world they only think they know. Every August a record-breaking number of people can't wait to get their hands on the September issue of Vogue. The 2007 issue was and remains the biggest ever, weighing over four pounds, selling thirteen million copies, and impacting the $300-billion global fashion industry more than any other single publication. An intimate, funny and surprising look at Anna Wintour and her team of larger-than-life editors as they create this must-have Bible of fashion, Cutler explores the untouchable glamour of Wintour's Vogue to reveal the extraordinarily passionate people at its heart.

LUMA is the world's first "Human Light Show" that has been seen on four continents, a dozen countries, and coast to coast in the United States. LUMA brings cutting edge illuminated technology to the stage fused to a wide variety of disciplines from dance, magic, puppetry, rhythmic gymnastics, acrobatics, and physics phenomenon. LUMA depicts a world of luminosity from fireflies to meteors from carnival rides to screen savers. LUMA recaptures that innocent fascination we all have from our first play with a flashlight under the covers, to our yearly pilgrimage to fireworks shows in the summer and our reveling in the holiday lights in the winter.
The show begins @ 8:30. Bring your chairs, blankets, beverages, snacks. Cost: Free

They are never open on the w/e...so it's a nice opportunity to drop in this Friday. TOUR COST $3 for adults, $2 for children We shall be departing 9am Friday morn., 'tis ~1.5 hr drive from Houston. We'll depart from my house, email me for directions (juli.boone@juno.com). IF you want to meet us at Blue Bell, of course, that's fine. THEN (after the tour, for lunch...) we are going to head over to Snook, TX for the world famous - another drum roll - chicken fried bacon. YES, that is correct (not chicken fried steak, noooo!), chicken fried bacon, served with cream gravy of course. Others may elect lunch items off the menu. Perhaps you've seen Sodolak's on the Travel Channel. Snook is ~30 mile north of Brenham. If chicken fried bacon isn't up your alley, be advised...Sodolak's is a tasty steak house with plenty of delicious items on the menu.
