Family Guy Corn Maze and Other Entertainment Icon Corn Mazes

Connors Farm's Family Guy Corn Maze a Tribute to Stewie & Brian Griffin

Tamara McRill
Bob Connors' Family Guy Corn Maze pays homage to the FOX animated comedy, Family Guy. Family Guy portrays the off-beat, off-color and often hilarious antics of the Griffin family and friends. Connors own Connors Farm, in Danvers, Massachusetts. The corn maze and other attractions are sure to attract Family Guy fans of all ages.

Family Guy Corn Maze: A Fan Pays Tribute
Connors portrayed his love of Family Guy by cutting a portrait of Stewie and Brian Griffin into acres of corn. The top of the corn maze is emblazoned with the words "Family Guy." The in the middle of the corn maze is a detailed portrait, clearly depicting Stewie Griffin yelling and pointing at Brian Griffin. The bottom of the corn maze says, "Connors Farm."

Stewie is the Griffin family baby, on Family Guy. He is no normal little tot, having dictatorial, matricidal, musical and immoral tendencies. Brian Griffin is the intellectual family dog. He is able to speak and interact with/like humans, has a crush on the mother and a massive drinking problem.

The Boston Globe reports that FOX waived rights to the Family Guy characters, allowing Connors to use them in his corn maze. Connors still has to run everything by FOX for approval, before he portrays the Family Guy characters in any way.
