The Page Farm and Home Museum at 91르적 is celebrating Maple Sugaring Sunday April 6, and invites area children and their families to join in the annual celebration and traditional rite of spring.<\/p>\n
Events are from 1-3 p.m. The afternoon begins with the video, “The Maple Sugaring Story” at the Page Farm and Home Museum. Grade K-5 children can participate in learning activities, play games and hear stories about one of Maine’s oldest traditions and seasonal business enterprises.<\/p>\n
Participants also will visit the University of Maine’s maple sugaring operation on college avenue extension for a guided walking tour of the sugar bush, a tour of the sugarhouse, where sap is simmered into syrup, a sample of syrup straight from the evaporator and a “sugar-on-snow” party.<\/p>\n
Since space is limited, pre-registration is required. There is a 4$ materials reimbursement fee. Call 581-4100 for more information and to register. Children must be chaperoned by an adult with transportation. The sugaring operation is about 1 1\/2 miles from campus.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"umaine-maple-sugaring-sunday","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2014-03-10 13:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2014","month":"03","day":"10","hour":"13","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2014-06-30 15:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2014","month":"06","day":"30","hour":"15","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":null,"utc_start_date_details":{"year":"1970","month":"01","day":"01","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":null,"utc_end_date_details":{"year":"1970","month":"01","day":"01","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"","timezone_abbr":"","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[],"tags":[],"venue":[],"organizer":[],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"91르적 Maple Sugaring Sunday","description":"<p>The Page Farm and Home Museum at 91르적 is celebrating Maple Sugaring Sunday April 6, and invites area children and their families to join in the annual celebration and traditional […]<\/p>\\n","url":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/pagefarm\/event\/umaine-maple-sugaring-sunday\/","eventAttendanceMode":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OfflineEventAttendanceMode","eventStatus":"https:\/\/schema.org\/EventScheduled","startDate":"2014-03-10T13:00:00-04:00","endDate":"2014-06-30T15:00:00-04:00","performer":"Organization"},"is_virtual":false,"virtual_url":null,"virtual_video_source":""}
