Maple Harvest Festival and Pancake Breakfast at Shaver's Creek
March 24–25, 2012

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
