Sherman Farm in East Conway, N.H., has found the corniest of ways to celebrate the Boston Bruins' Stanley Cup championship.
Days after the Bruins won the Cup in June, Kathy Sherman and her daughter, Michele Dutton, sped into a process to change the design for their annual corn maze to honor New England's championship squad.
With the help of The Maize, a Utah-based company that specializes in designing cornfield mazes, Sherman Farm now proudly displays 12 acres of Tim Thomas etched in real corn. It will be open for public viewings on weekends starting Sept. 17.
"How can you live in New England and not be a big Bruins fan?" Dutton asked NHL.com.
The design is based off of a picture Brett Herbst, owner of The Maize, saw of Thomas raising the Stanley Cup. The Bruins' logo is not present in the design because there was no time to go through the proper channels that would allow Sherman Farm to use it.
Thomas is wearing his No. 30.
"Without the coordination of The Maize company pulling this design off in such a short period of time, we wouldn't be able to do it," Sherman, whose family has owned the farm since 1964, told NHL.com. "We credit them to be able to change our design. They did it four days before they came to cut it out."
It's taken even less time for their Cup-themed design to go viral.
Dutton said their fall brochures were delivered locally on Wednesday and immediately she started to hear about a buzz on Facebook. She posted it on Sherman Farm's Facebook page at 2 p.m. ET Wednesday afternoon and two hours later the local Fox affiliate called.
