Yesterday we explored a bit of the local area and found a Maple tree tapping Festival in Burton.
Ted and Grandpa Andy were able to drill and tap a tree, install a collection bucket for the sap.
We learned that 50 gallons of sap will yield 1 gallon of syrup.
The family that volunteered at the event were all very informative and patient with our questions.
Perhaps we will explore further next month with their pancake eating party! Let us know if that is something you would like to get in on ;)
Not surprisingly, Grandpa made some new friends and is rumored to be included in this Wednesday's write up in the local Gazette. * Pics to follow*
Here are a couple more shots from the day:
