Saturday March 24th we attended Saugeen Shores Conservation Authorities annual Maple Syrup Festival. It was our second visit to the event. There were several vendors and display areas ranging from Kayaks and canoes to conservation officers to pioneer villagers demonstrating life during the time before confederation. Of course the theme was maple syrup and there were demonstrations of both old and new methods of turning sugar maple tree sap into delicious syrup. Of course for a small fee you could have a pancake breakfast complete with fresh syrup.
We visited each and every display and learned something new at many of the vendors and demonstrators. For example did you know it takes 40 litres of sap to make just one litre of syrup. It was a perfect day for walking around the area. I have included some photos below.
Looks like another good time was had by all.
