The Charleston, South Carolina area is a great place to live or have a vacation home. The weather is great, the beaches are fantastic, golf courses are abundant, there are many historical sites, the architecture is unbelievable, the dining is unbeatable, and the people are the friendliest in the country. It is because of these reasons that I believe Charleston SC Real Estate is truly unique. I look forward to helping you with any of your Charleston SC Real Estate needs in Charleston, Berkeley, or Dorchester counties. Today’s article is titled:

3. The West Farm Corn Maize in Moncks Corner: For the West family, the season is practically synonymous with corn mazes. This will be the seventh year that they've transformed their 6-acre cornfield in Moncks Corner into a gigantic puzzle.
Join us for a walk through our very own Wells Fargo Stagecoach. Our 6-acre corn maze with 2.9 miles of trails has been designed, mapped, and cut by MazePlay of Firth, Idaho, using the latest GPS technology. We've included a special mini maze (.2 miles) within the big maze especially for our youngest visitors! You'll have to use your best map-reading skills to reach all 12 maze checkpoints in the corn field! It'll be unlike any stagecoach trip you've ever dreamed of taking, so hold on for the ride!
We've once again included FSI: Farm Scene Investigation. Farmer Joe is missing. There was an accident, and it appears to be foul play. There are seven farm animal suspects that we need you to investigate. Collect the evidence to find the weapon and the location where the crime took place. You will find six location scenes within the corn maze. At each location you will find an animal and a tool to eliminate as a suspect and a weapon. Punch your card to keep track of your clues. Solve the mystery, put those guilty farm animal behind bars, and save Farmer Joe.
