WHITEHOUSE, Ohio (AP) — You need to be airborne to fully appreciate a corny caricature of Sarah Palin near Toledo, Ohio.

A 16-acre cornfield has been carved up in the likeness of the Republican vice presidential candidate to form a tourist attraction's fall corn maze.

The Butterfly House in Whitehouse is owned by Duke Wheeler, who says Palin created a lot of excitement in the campaign and he was hoping to generate some for this year's maze.

He says it took an artist from Idaho at least 8 hours to mow down corn stalks in a Palin pattern, complete with her familiar updo hairstyle and eyeglasses.

Wheeler says he thinks the Alaska governor would be proud.

The Butterfly House features an indoor garden filled with butterflies and an adjoining farm.
