The Page Farm and Home Museum at 91±¬ÁÏ is celebrating Maple Sugaring Sunday April 6, and invites area children and their families to join in the annual celebration and traditional rite of spring.
Events are from 1-3 p.m. The afternoon begins with the video, “The Maple Sugaring Story” at the Page Farm and Home Museum. Grade K-5 children can participate in learning activities, play games and hear stories about one of Maine’s oldest traditions and seasonal business enterprises.
Participants also will visit the 91±¬ÁÏ’s maple sugaring operation on college avenue extension for a guided walking tour of the sugar bush, a tour of the sugarhouse, where sap is simmered into syrup, a sample of syrup straight from the evaporator and a “sugar-on-snow” party.
Since space is limited, pre-registration is required. There is a 4$ materials reimbursement fee. Call 581-4100 for more information and to register. Children must be chaperoned by an adult with transportation. The sugaring operation is about 1 1/2 miles from campus.
