On Saturday, March 14, there will be an old-time maple sugar festival at the Eddy Discover Center from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m.
It’s time for that traditional rite of spring – tapping maple trees.
Watch a short film about how maple syrup is made, and then go on a guided walk to see various methods of collecting sap and how it is boiled down to make syrup. Antique equipment for making syrup will be on display from the Waterloo Farm Museum, and maple products will be available for purchase.
Eddy Discovery Center, 17030 Bush Road in Sylvan Township.
Contact the center at (734) 475-3170 for more information. Free admission.
