Thanksgiving Point’s corn maze opens Friday, this year with a circus theme

The circus is in town at Thanksgiving Point, as the three-ring theme of the Lehi park’s annual corn maze.

Cornbelly’s, the company that runs Thanksgiving Point’s corn maze and accompanying pumpkin festival, has unveiled the design of this year’s maze. It features an animal ringmaster, an elephant, a big top, a gummy bear and the title “The Greatest Cornman.”

The title is a nod to the 2017 movie “The Greatest Showman,” the musical biography of P.T. Barnum starring Hugh Jackman. (On an unrelated note, Jackman was in Salt Lake City last weekend, appearing at the doTERRA convention, and giving a rousing Twitter endorsement to a local restaurant, Valter’s Osteria.
