We are a family farm which every fall features a large corn maze, pumpkin patch, haunted attraction, school field trips and several other family oriented activities. In 2003, we drew close to 20,000 patrons during our 4-week run. Maris Farms belongs to a larger maze organization known as The Cornfield Maze group, which draws more than 1.5 million visitors to 140+ mazes throughout the United States and Canada each fall.

Maris Farms is always seeking corporate sponsorship or co-marketing alliances - either financial or product/service contributions. In 2003, we had 14 such sponsorships and co-marketing relationships. In 2004, we have secured at least that many (please check out our sponsors' page at www.marisfarms.com). We believe we have some attractive demographic information that will benefit you and your company.

Maris Farms has been open since 1995 and for most of the first four seasons of our pumpkin patch, we never had more than 3,000 people attend the farm. The last four seasons, we've had no less than 10,000. That's a lot of eyeballs wandering through our maze, pumpkin patch and other areas of the farm over a month, as well as a lot of media coverage. Our affiliation with The Cornfield Maze group carries a lot of powerful marketing opportunities as well. Its web site alone attracts 13 million hits annually, not to mention the national media coverage.

The media coverage around this type of family event is/has been easy to attract, local and national in scope and quite extensive throughout the duration we and the other farms are open. Maris Farms has been featured on KCPQ (Q13) TV as a weekend getaway, KOMO 4 NEWS, AOL's digital city getaways, Evening Magazine and several local newspapers. Maris Farms also enjoys the help of Western Washington's largest country music station, 94.1 KMPS, which mentions our maze on air the entire month of October and attends each year to do a remote broadcast. It reaches listeners who may hear that your company is one of the sponsors. STAR 101.5 FM is another Seattle radio station we have a relationship with that works with us throughout the season. STAR will be at the farm for at least three live remotes in 2004. The Cornfield Maze group has been featured on many national media venues, including NBC's Morning Show and the CBS Evening News.

Inside, you will find some of the cross-promotional opportunities that are available, along with larger sponsorship packages, as well as some of the statistical/factual information about our venue.

If you have questions or need additional information regarding opportunities at the farm, please contact us.

Thanks and best regards,
