We're excited to share another week of news & ideas with our MAiZE family. There never seems to be a shortage of ideas and the truth is that some of the best originate with all of you! So, if you ever have an idea you'd like us to pass along to the group, please just send it our way. Also, please remember that we'll be archiving these ideas on the siteowner web site, so that you can go back and view them whenever you like.

Time to Take Our Year-End Survey |
 Curious what kind of seasons your fellow MAiZE owners had? What their best attractions or marketing ideas were? How many used social media? How many have the same attractions you do?
Take a minute to complete our short year-end survey and we'll share the results with our entire MAiZE family. The more responses, the better the results! Even if you don't know the answers to all the questions, please respond to whatever you can.
