Inside
the Sugar Shack
Join
the Darke County Parks
on Saturday, March 2nd from 7:30am-4:00pm for Maple Sugarin’
at the
Prairie! This early
spring day at
Shawnee Prairie offers guided tours through history and science as we
learn the
process of turning sap into syrup. After our tour through the
woods,
we’ll visit the Sugar Shack, where you can warm up in the steam-filled
evaporator room as the sap spends countless hours on a boil to reduce
it down
to syrup. Then head out to the Log House where you can visit
with our
200-year-old pioneers and discuss 18th century life.
There will also be a 50/50 raffle.
Finally complete the day at the Nature Center where the gift shop will
be full
of maple goodies for your sweet tooth!
The
Friends of the Parks will once
again be serving up a hearty breakfast of waffles, sausage, juice,
coffee and
of course pure Ohio Maple Syrup! Carry-out is Available. Breakfast will be served
from 7:00am-10:30am. For
tickets, call the Nature Center at
937.548.0165 or purchase them from any Friend of the Parks member for a
$5
donation.
