Audubon Sharon hosts MapleFest along with Maple Bake Sale

Audubon Sharon will be holding its annual MapleFest on Saturday, March 16 between 11am  and 4 pm at the Sharon Audubon Center, Route 4, Sharon, CT.  On-going guided 45-minute tours will lead visitors through the Center’s sugaring operation, including a working sugarhouse and a re-creation of Native American and early colonial sugaring methods.  


Participants can watch as pure sugar maple sap is collected from the trees and turned into delicious maple syrup.  Admission for the event is $6.00 adults and $4.00 children (2 and under free.) Wear warm clothes and boots, as much of the tour is outdoors.

  

Fresh, homemade maple baked goods and coffee will also be available for purchase during the day as part of the Maple Bake Sale. Each treat will be made with the Center’s very own maple syrup!  Fresh syrup will be available for purchase while supplies last, as well as locally made maple candy, maple cream, and maple sugar.


For more information on MapleFest or the Audubon Sharon sugaring operation, contact the Audubon Center at (860) 364-0520, visit www.sharon.audubon.org.
