Othello Straw Maze the place for classic scary fun
OTHELLO — The straw maze sponsored by the Othello Rodeo Association is truly a family event, starting with the design. Straw maze chair Paula Robertson said one of the scary scenarios was the work of three 9-year-old girls. “They designed the skeleton wedding all on their own,” she said. The straw maze is an important fundraiser for the rodeo association, and it’s built and turned into the scariest place in town by a crew of volunteers. It’s open every Friday and Saturday night throughout October, and on Halloween night.
