Maple Syrup Festival enjoys a spring atmosphere at Luthern Memorial Camp

By EVELYN LONG

Spring­like weather greeted vis­i­tors to the 39th annual Maple Syrup Fes­ti­val held Sun­day, March 10 at the Lutheran Memo­r­ial Camp near Fulton.

There were 841 peo­ple attend­ing and 646 of them enjoyed the pan­cake and sausage din­ner served with maple syrup.

Rod Pearce, direc­tor of the camp, said a net total of $4,786.65 was real­ized from the event and this will fund the atten­dance of many youths to camp­ing ses­sions this summer.

Vis­i­tors pur­chased maple good­ies made from scratch, LMC T-shirts and sou­venirs, real maple syrup, maple dough­nuts and sas­safras tea.

The staff thanks the fol­low­ing for their con­tri­bu­tion to the fes­ti­val suc­cess: the “Avalon Nine” band; the Marengo Coun­try Mar­ket — Gift Card; Avalon Foods– cof­fee; Michael Ford — Sas­safras tea; Gen­eral Mills; St. John Lutheran Church, Wind­fall; Todd Joliff from Lin­colnshire Farms for the horse and trac­tor wagon rides and Cindy Pearce for baking.

Pearce expressed appre­ci­a­tion for the public’s sup­port of this fes­ti­val and reminds them of the Apple But­ter Fes­ti­val on Octo­ber 13, 2013.

The Lutheran Memo­r­ial Camp is part of Lutheran Out­door Min­istries of Ohio.
