Pancakes Anyone! A visit to the Festival would not be complete without enjoying a stack of hot delicious pancakes covered in 100% pure maple syrup. Pancakes will be served daily from 10:00am – 2:30pm with the proceeds going to not-for-profit organizations. Pancake Tent is located at the top of the hill by the parking lot. (The public is asked to help reduce garbage by bringing reusable plates and utensils. Paper plates and plastic utensils will be available.) |
| General Store Do you have a sweet tooth? The General Store will be open daily for visitors to purchase and maple products. Visit The General Store.

Aunt Penny's Cabin At the bottom of the trail to your right, you will find a remnant pioneer log cabin, complete with artifacts from days gone by and maple sap boiling in our large cast iron pot. Interpreters will tell you how sap was collected from sugar maple trees using buckets and taps. Pioneers depended on maple syrup as a locally available sweetener and a chance for rural families to escape the confines of their winter cabin. |

The public is asked to help support the community by bringing a non-perishable food item for the food drive. Food donations may be made at the Festival Admission Gate. |
