The annual corn maze at Lawyerโ€™s Farm in Thurmont is dedicated to the governor this year.

Cornstalks were expertly shaped to form the likeness of Larry Hogan sits atop the maze design, while the slogan #HoganStrong anchors the design, referencing Hoganโ€™s battle with cancer. By the way, thatโ€™s going pretty well. Hogan told the Washington Postโ€™s Ovetta Wiggins on Tuesday that he is 95 percent cancer free.

But anyway, the corn maze. Lawyerโ€™s Farm has a different maze every year. A team descends upon the farm using GPS mounted to a tractor. This yearโ€™s maze opens Sept. 19.

While we know Hogan is a lot more popular in the country than the big city these days, Lawyerโ€™s Farm responded to questions about the message on Facebook by saying, โ€œThe maze is not intended to be political. We are instead just trying to raise awareness for cancer in a different way and to have successful fundraising events that arenโ€™t conventional.โ€
