MAPLE SYRUP FESTIVAL

Next Sunday, March 14

at

Lutheran Memorial Camp

 10:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Fresh maple syrup on your pancakes tastes “sooooooo” good!  Come find out just how good it is!  Take a walk with a naturalist to learn how to identify and tap the maples, then help to collect the sap.  Allow the sugaring mist to waft your way from over the boiling sap. Then see if you can tell the difference between non-maple syrup and the “real McCoy”!  Maple donuts and sassafras tea are other satisfying treats found over the open fire.  Tour the craft tables, and take home some “camp-made” goodies from the maple kitchen.  Stock up on your yearly supply of maple syrup.  All proceeds go into the LMC Campership Fund, which helps children have a Christian camping experience they will never forget!   Cost for the meal:  $6.50 for adults and $4.50 for children ages 5-12.  LMC is located just south of Fulton on route 61.
