Sugarbush Events
March 2010
Greetings!
Spring is approaching and it's time again for our annual Sugarbush Festival! We've got fun new additions to the events this year and we hope to see you here.
 
Maple Syrup in the Making
Syrup
Sugarbush events will run throughout the month of March beginning with the first Saturday, March 6th. Each Saturday (6th, 13th, 20th) we'll have Sugarbush trail guides for tours through several stations that will teach visitors about how maple syrup came about and finishing off with a tasting of the syrup made right here on the property! At the end of the month, our tapping, bottling, and tours culminate in a Pancake Breakfast and Festival on March 27th.

Details:
Tours - March 6, 13, and 20 from 10am to 4pm; $3/person
Pancake Breakfast - March 27 from 8am to noon; $10 adults, $8 seniors, $5 kids
Sugarbush Festival - March 27 from 9am to 4pm; admission included with Pancake Breakfast ticket, $5/person without
