- In an ongoing celebration of the Lincoln Bicentennial, farmers Jim and Darla Baggenstos have turned their corn fields into a Lincoln corn maze. Every year, some 5,000 people turn out for the couple's annual corn maze in Oregon. This year, the maze--sporting a Lincoln-inspired design--will also feature informational signs to educate visitors about the 16th president. The maze is open through October 31.
