Missouri pumpkin patch owner designs corn maze to honor Donald Trump

MOUNTAIN GROVE, Mo. (KY3) — A popular pumpkin patch and corn maze in the Ozarks is adding something new this year: a Donald Trump-inspired corn maze.

“Basically, after 16 years of running the pumpkin patch, you always want to reinvent yourself. So we went back to the more hilbilly-ish type of style…and got out a tape measure, did a little doodling, and came up with the Trump design,” said Duncan Smith, the co-owner of Spring Hill Pumpkin Patch.

Like Smith said, the patch has been around for 16 years. It features several activities, including hay forts, giant slides, a train ride, a hay ride, fire pits, a corn maze, and lots of pumpkins.

Smith wanted to add Trump’s name to, yes, draw more people in.

“Maybe polarizing, but I find that’s what draws people usually. You can’t convince your haters,” says Smith.

The pumpkin patch is opening every weekend starting September 28th through November 3rd.
