How sweet it is! Maple syrup time at Park Homestead By Mark Ribble The annual John R. Park Homestead Maple Syrup Festival was busy over the weekend, attracting families, couples and kids of all ages to their grounds on County Rd. 50 — all wanting to explore the process of making maple syrup the old-fashioned
way. This past weekend, March 8-9, was Lumberjack Weekend, with many visitors dressed in plaid, featuring a beard and moustache contest, axe throwing station, sawmill action, crafts and vendors. The day also featured demonstrations on
tree-tapping and the cooking of the sap into syrup. The Park House was open for visitors to take a leisurely stroll through the grounds, where they
could visit the blacksmith, barns and sawmill. This coming weekend — March 15-16 — is called Tasters’ Weekend, with several vendors on site,
winter hikes throughout the grounds and the famous tasting of the syrup. Advance tickets are available on their website at essexregionconservation.ca.
