30th Annual 2013 Maple Syrup Festival
Where does maple syrup come from? If you said "the grocery store", you need to come to the Indian Creek Nature Center's Maple Syrup Festival! Held annually the first full weekend in March, you will experience the entire process of making maple syrup from start to finish. The whole family will enjoy discovering how this sweet concoction gets from tree to table!
