Maple Sugarin’
at the Prairie
The trees have been tapped, the temperatures are just right and the sap
is flowing! Join the Darke County Parks on Saturday, March 7th
from 8:00am-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 and Blacksmith Shop 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!
Breakfast will be served from 8:00am-12:00pm. Tickets are
available for a $5 donation at the door or you can stop by the Nature
Center to purchase your tickets ahead of time. Additional sausage
is available for an extra $1. Carry-Out is available. For
more information, please call the Nature Center at 937.548.0165.
