Maple Festival Offers Sweet Family Fun
The 42nd Asbury Woods Maple Festival promises to be sweet.
Saturday, Apr. 14
The 42nd Asbury Woods Maple Festival promises to be sweet.
The festival, which annually attracts more than 1,000 guests, will feature maple syrup production tours and plenty of opportunities to sample the syrup and pancakes, too.
Guided 45-minute historical tours will take place throughout the day, and a shorter 15-minute, friendly-for-all-ages version will also be available.
People can further explore maple syrup production at the kid's "Discovery Zone," where you can watch demonstrations and taste the goods.
Live animal shows are also scheduled throughout Saturday and Sunday. Guests can also help name Asbury Woods' new ferret by voting for their favorite option with a donation towards the care of the animal and its habitat. The name that raises the most money will win.
Maple Festival tickets will be available at the door. — Tracy Geibel
