The maple syrup is flowing, and the Hamilton County Conservation office is collecting it to use for their annual maple syrup making fundraiser this next Saturday. The syrup is being collected in green containers lining the road heading into Briggs Woods Park.
The fundraiser begins at 9 a.m. and concludes around 11 a.m. Registration is required, and there is a fee of $15. Payment can be made the day of the event.
All participants are to meet at the Briggs Woods Golf Course to start. Participants with the workshop and fundraiser breakfast will have a chance to view the maple tree tapping and syrup cooking.
The breakfast will include pancakes and the homemade syrup.
Funds raised from the breakfast will be used to purchase new snowshoes and storage.
To register, go to www.mycountyparks.com and register through Hamilton County.
