Maple Syrup

I’m a little like Buddy the Elf and I love syrup. Who doesn’t? So I’ve been hearing a lot about different syrup events across the state and have already marked a few in my calendar:

Maple Syrup Festival in Brown County

The 2015 National Maple Syrup Festival will be held March 5-8 in Brown County. Visitors will be able to enjoy tree tapping, sap boiling, incredible foods and unique drinks with syrup as the main ingredient!

The event takes place all over the county:

  • Brown County State Park – Events include interpretive hike, live reenactments of maple sugaring techniques and on-site cooking by The Dutch Oven Diva!
  • The Story Inn – Home to The Sweet Victory Challenge – a maple culinary competition of national recipe contests for youth and adults
  • Downtown Nashville – Pioneer Village will come alive with demonstrations of pioneer sugaring methods and Nashville restaurants and retailers will focus on maple-related food and wares.

There will be some admission costs for events, so be sure and check out the National Maple Syrup Festival website for more info.

Be sure to visit Brown County for more information on events, attractions and lodging.

Maple Sugarbush Festival and Pancake Breakfast

maple sugarbushOn March 7-8, join in the 37th annual celebration of the maple sugar harvest at the Wessleman Nature Society in Evansville.
