Ansonia Nature Center's Maple Festival

This past weekend I participated in the nature centers 1st annual maple festival. It was a bright sunlit breezy day filled with many activities such as the history of maple sugaring, how to tap a tree, identifying maple trees, pancake eating contest, and live demos of a barrel boiler in action as well as a demo finishing syrup on a propane burner. Plenty of maple goodies to sample and purchase.
All in all a great day to spend outdoors learning about natures sweet annual natural resource.
