Maple syrup to star at Ansonia festival

Sweet event on tap

ANSONIA - A festival featuring all things maple will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 2 at the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center.

Start the day with a pancake breakfast with real maple syrup, sausages, juice, coffee, and tea from 8 to 10 a.m.


There will be a maple bake sale all day (or until the goodies are gone), crafts to make, live animals, tree-tapping demonstrations, tree identifications and more.

A Derby Historical Society docent will talk about how residents in Colonial times learned from Native Americans how to tap trees and make maple syrup.

Admission is free, but donations are gratefully accepted. All proceeds will benefit critter care in the center's wildlife rehabilitation program.

For information call 203-736-1053.

The nature center is at 10 Deerfield Road.
