you know how maple syrup is made? Did you know it takes 40 gallons of
sap to make just one gallon of the delicious syrup? Come to the

fastened to the trees and steam hovering above the boiler while the sap
bubbles.
Enjoy a pancake breakfast with delicious 'real' maple syrup drizzled over your stack of cakes. A New Location -- Pavilion in Nature Park.
Experience
pioneer life by seeing outdoor cooking, watching a 'smith' at work,
shelling some corn and more fun activities. Buy maple cotton candy and
enjoy its delicious taste.
