Big Horse Feed Corn Maze and Harvest Festival

Find the fun in Southern California's biggest Corn Maze! This annual event is perfect for the whole family, with an Air Pillow, Batting Cage, Bungee Trampoline, Car Craze in the Corn Maze, Colors of Courage 5K Run to Benefit the Gary Sinise Foundation, Corn Cannon, Pony Rides, Pumpkin Bowling and many more great activities.
For the last 15 years Big Horse Feed has had hundreds of
thousands of children and adults “Get Lost” in their famous 12 acre corn maze.  The annual design is created by
the Corona Family and the funds raised throughout the month are then designated
to a military cause.  In the past, Special
Operations Warrior Fund, The Marines, Medal of Honor Foundation and various other nonprofit military organizations have all benefited from the money
raised. This year the corn maze features the logo of the Gary Sinise Foundation
which serves our nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders,
their families and those in need (www.garysinisefoundation.org). 

Rose Corona, one of the owners of Big Horse Feed, has
supported many military organizations over the years and recently became
involved with the Gary Sinise Foundation when they worked together to build a
Smart Home in Temecula for wounded veteran and Gary Sinise Foundation Ambassador,  Cpl. Juan Dominguez.


“The Colors of Courage” 5K Run/Walk will be held on Saturday, October 19 for the entire family to enjoy. 
This 5K run/walk will feature color stations throughout the course where
all participants can enjoy being showered with “Colors of Courage” as they
support our military, first responders and their families.  This event encourages those who have
prosthetics or are in wheelchairs to participate as well.  The run will culminate into the corn maze

festival area where participants can join in on all of the festivities such as

pillow jumps, pony rides, pig races, corn cannons, color dunks, hay rides,

pumpkin picking, duck races, bungee trampoline and a lot more family fun. The celebration and awards will conclude with
a performance by “The

American Hitmen” (http://americanhitmen.com/), well known for their appearance on
“America’s Got Talent”, the two Marine brothers who fought in Iraq and
Afghanistan bring their patriotic rock music and their band to the stage.  The grand finale will be the appearance and presentation
by Gary Sinise, himself, who will be on-hand for the festivities along with
Gary Sinise Ambassador and Smart Home recipient, Cpl. Juan Dominguez.
