The Richardson Farm Corn Maze

Back for another spooktacular year, the Spring Grove Fireman’s Association will haunt our 5 acre remote maze. As usual, wagon shuttles will run between the main grounds and the remote maze. Or…ride our new 700’ Zipline over to the remote maze (additional $15 and signed waiver needed). Glide through specialty lighting and foggy swamp bottom forest and who knows what else!

ITEM of the WEEK: William E Jones - Heliogabalus

Thursday, October 29, 2009

Artist William E. Jones delivers happiness to all Roman Historians, bibliophiles, and people who enjoy a visual experience with this well-expounded book describing the life and times of Heliogabalus.



Featuring a varied arrangement of articles with classic sources like the Historia Augusta (a collection of late of Roman leaders) Heliogabalus blends historical texts with sensual 70's ads to bring the Emperor's scandalous social and sexual activity into a modern day context. 


What are those scandalous acts? They're hidden within the pages of this highly recommended, extremely unique account of one of the most salacious Roman Emperors.
