Fall is right upon us here in North Dakota, and that means it’s almost time for one of the funnest, most classic parts of the season that is just pure fun: the corn maze. Various corn mazes are held all over the state, but if you want to experience the enjoyment of a corn maze plus tons of other fun fall activities, you’ll definitely want to head over to this festival in a small town in ND:
The Maddock Rural Renaissance Festival is a fantastically fun fall festival in a small town with a population just below 400. This year will be its 9th year and it will be held from September 21-23, 2018.

Speaking of hay bales, you’ll likely see a lot of colorful and creative hay bales for the bale decorating contest. Bales of all shapes, sizes, colors, and configurations will be set up to see which is the best and they’re delightful to see.
