When operators of the Bose Corn Maze open their gates to the public this weekend, they’re hoping for at least two things.

One, they’d love for Mother Nature to smile upon the 25-acre plantation.

Two, they really urge the yahoos to stay at home.

Both have caused headaches for Mike and Novy Bose over the past 17 years, since they began growing rows of corn in the shape of a large logo of some kind. The Whitecaps, a couple of Grey Cup logos, the Canucks, Cloverdale Rodeo, the John Deere brand, the old Air Canada Championship golf tourney logo – all have been shaped into a maze on the farmland located at the corner of 64th Avenue and 156th Street in Surrey.

This year, the vegetable-based labyrinth is created in the shape of the Rugby Canada logo, thanks to a family passion for the game.

“We saw the logo so much during the Rugby Sevens tournament held in Vancouver last spring,” Mike explained. “I’m a former (rugby) player and our son still plays, (and) we wanted to commemorate that tournament, which was a great experience. It happened way back in March, but our women won bronze in Rio during the Olympics, so they deserve some love, too. We also got the Surrey Beavers logo in there.”
