Hello all Shaver’s Creek friends,
THIS weekend is our annual Maple Harvest Festival:
Shaver’s Creek has held this annual festival since 1984 to celebrate the first harvest of the new year and help people learn about the maple sugaring process — both in colonial times and the present day. At the festival you can:
- learn how to identify and tap sugar maple trees and visit the Sugar Shack to see sap being turned into syrup!
- watch costumed interpreters demonstrate sugaring techniques used by Native Americans, pioneers, and modern-day farmers
- enjoy live music and storytelling
- see live birds of prey and reptile shows
- savor all-you-can-eat pancakes and maple syrup
COME ONE, COME ALL — out to the center to enjoy music, animal shows, maple syrup lessons, syrup, pancakes, hot cocoa and more!!!!!
