Experience the true taste of Northwest Ohio as Anne Marie Michaels of the Williams Soil and Water Conservation District joins Andy St. John on WLKI 100.3 to celebrate the upcoming Maple Syrup Festival. Hear about the tradition and craftsmanship behind "the real thing"--pure syrup harvested directly from local trees.
Highlights of the Pure Maple Experience:
- From Tree to Table: Learn why it takes 40 gallons of sap to produce just one gallon of syrup and why the "Sugar Shack" is the heart of the festival.
- A Local Tradition: Discover how the Northwest Ohio Maple Syrup Producers have spent decades teaching the community about the difference between high-fructose corn syrup and 100% pure maple.
- Beyond the Pancake: Explore the variety of maple-infused delicacies available, from maple cotton candy and kettle corn to maple-flavored coffee and bourbon syrup.
- Morning Festivities: Get the details on the pancake and sausage breakfast starting at 7:30 AM this Saturday, March 28, at the Williams County Fairgrounds.
- Family Fun: Take a horse-drawn wagon ride through a covered bridge, visit the archery simulator, or get hands-on with wildlife and entomology exhibits.
