An A'Maizing Day in Murphy Murphy Maize Days, September 24, 2011 Maize Days in Murphy promises to be an entertaining day of fun for the whole family. The festival started out as an event to celebrate Murphy’s 50th Anniversary. The event was so well-received by the community that it has now become an annual event. The name Maize Days was selected due to the fact that corn was the area’s biggest crop in days past.Murphy Maize Days, September 24, 2011 will be held on the city’s municipal grounds located at 206 N. Murphy Rd. Parking will be provided in the Plano ISD complex, Tom Kimbrough Stadium, and a shuttle service will be available for those that prefer not to walk. Festivities begin with an 8:00 am fun run followed by an A’Maizing 5K run at 8:30 am. The festival hours are 10:00 am until 8:30 pm opening with local area vendors in the Maize Market and closing with a fireworks* show. Kids Zone which covers the southeast quadrant of the complex is filled with lots of entertaining activities for the little ones including pony rides and photo ops. Live entertainment hosts local artist favorites Eleven Hundred Springs and Zane Williams. But don’t take my word for it. Come on out and find out for yourself. There will be a scarecrow contest, corn spitting contest, corn karaoke and lots of food and fun for the family.
* weather permitting - last year's festival was rained out and the fireworks were enjoyed over the Christmas Holiday Celebration Looking to move to the Plano area?
