By EVELYN LONG -

It’s Maple Syrup time at the Lutheran Memo­r­ial Camp and that means the 39th annual Maple Syrup fes­ti­val will be held Sun­day, March 10. Served will be all you can eat pan­cakes with maple syrup, sausage, apple­sauce, milk, orange juice and cof­fee from 10:30 am to 4 pm in the Cedar Lodge at the camp. Cost is $7 for adults; $5 for youths five to 12 years old and chil­dren four and under can eat free.

Enter­tain­ing dur­ing the fes­ti­val will be the Avalon Nine and Friends. Trac­tor and horse drawn wagon rides will be offered and vis­i­tors can walk to the Sugar Bush and learn about the Native Amer­i­cans and early set­tler his­tory of maple sugar production.Tap a tree and enjoy the taste of maple syrup.

Real maple syrup will be sold in the Cedar Lodge and sas­safras tea and home­made maple dough­nuts will be avail­able under the Apple But­ter Shel­ter. Offered in the Cedar Lodge will be maple good­ies made from scratch, hot and cold drinks, LMC T– shirts and souvenirs.

All pro­ceeds sup­port the camp’s Camper­ship Pro­gram which assures that “all kids can go to camp.”

The camp is located just south of Ful­ton on State Route 61 and five miles north of I-71. Sit­u­ated on over 400 acres of rolling wood­lands, the camp pro­vides a faith based camp­ing expe­ri­ence for all ages, cou­pled with out­door activ­i­ties and envi­ron­men­tal edu­ca­tion for all sea­sons. Adult and youth team build­ing retreats uti­lize the spe­cially designed Chal­lenge Course. Var­i­ous locales and lodges within the camp are also avail­able for pub­lic rental on spe­cial occasions.
