MAPLE SYRUP FESTIVAL continued from 50
And, a maple syrup festival wouldn’ t be complete without pancakes. Brown County High School will host a pancake flipping breakfast with Chris Cakes on the mornings of March 5 and 6, with all proceeds going to the school’ s student council.
There will also be events the weekends before and after the festival.
The last weekend in February a limited number of guests will be able to participate in“ Tap the Town,” where you can tap a maple tree and collect sap. The fee for that event includes brunch. The sap collected that weekend will be used to make maple syrup during the festival the following weekend.
The weekend following the festival, March 12 and 13, maple producers from across the state will welcome guests and will demonstrate how trees are tapped, how sap gets to the sugar house, and how it becomes maple syrup, maple cream, maple sugar, maple candy, and more.
Maple on the Menu will happen all three weekends, with local restaurants offering dishes made with Indiana maple syrup.
Shuttles from Nashville to the State Park will be available.
