She didn’t know before the show if her video had made the cut. Her whole family got together, “waiting and hoping.” “It was so crazy,” she said, when the clip appeared behind

The document continues to say that the design, which is 30 feet in diameter, is a seven-circuit labyrinth with seven layers of path that wraps around a central area. Bricks line the paths and a stone bench was erected at the edge to allow for “quiet contemplation.”
