There will be a pancake breakfast served till noon ($8 for adults, $6 children) and pure maple syrup for sale. Educators will demonstrate both traditional and modern methods of collecting and boiling sugar-maple sap to produce maple syrup. There will also be a crosscut saw demonstration to show the traditional method of woodcutting.
