It’s a sure sign of spring as the Allen County Maple Syrup Festival is at hand. The Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District is hosting the “sweet” event this Saturday and Sunday at the McLean Teddy Bear Park on North Dixie Highway. It’s free and those attending will get guided tours that showcase how maple syrup has been produced through the years. Organizers say it’s a great chance to get back outdoors and enjoy the wonders of mother nature.
If you are the kind of person who drowns their pancakes in maple syrup, this weekend is for you!
