Yesterday we met Matt and Tasha at a cornmaze near Jasper, GA. They were much more reasonable on price than larger cornmazes we've visited, so on a whim I decided to buy us each a turn on the corn cannon...
What fun! You drop a cob of dried corn down the barrel of the cannon (for all the world like a mortarman in an old WWII movie or the old tv show "Combat!") Then you hit the switch, and a blast of compressed air shoots the cob about 150 feet into the air.
I came the closest to hitting the target, I think! But later, the guy running the show changed to a smaller bore, and the thing started shooting about twice as high in the air.
Don't know what I'd do with a corn cannon, but it sure was fun!
