Each year, the Moore Family Farm in Groton, New York, cuts a unique five-acre maze into one of their cornfields for their annual fall festival. In fall 2023, their creation paid tribute to the football rivalry between the State University of New York at Cortland and Ithaca College—and the iconic Cortaca Jug. The maze was in the shape of Ithaca and SUNY Cortland football helmets with the jug between them.
Bomber pride is strong on the Moore farm. Kay Moore ’68 was a math major at IC and helped start the farm, and several other family members and workers at the farm also have Ithaca College connections.
Continuing the tradition of competition, the Moore family also set up a scoreboard near the maze. They kept track of the visitors who came showing off their school’s colors—Bomber blue or Red Dragon red—and added them to the scoreboard.
