Spring is just around the corner and Boardman Park would like to invite you to the 40th annual Maple Syrup Festival and Boardman Rotary Pancake Breakfast on March 18, 19, 25 and March 26 from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.
The Maple Syrup Festival is the perfect opportunity to get some fresh air and enjoy all the free activities the event has to offer. Outdoor activities include walking to Chester Long Pavilion where you can observe the park staff demonstrate how maple trees are tapped, the sap collected and then boiled down to make syrup. Learn about scouting skills from Boy Scout Troop 60 and take a step back into the past and experience the life of Civil War Troops as you watch them perform a re-enactment. Then take a wagon ride with family and friends through the park trails.
Inside the Lariccia Family Community Center you can learn about Boardman’s history from the Boardman Historical Society, observe the talents of the Western Reserve Woodcarvers and visit the Park table to purchase local maple syrup and see and feel our taxidermy woodland “friends” such as a coyote and fox. On display will be artwork from Boardman Center Intermediate School and the parents of Boy Scout Troop 60 will be having a basket raffle.
Take the morning off from cooking by enjoying a delicious pancake breakfast sponsored by the Boardman Rotary. The cost of breakfast is $6 per person and children ages 6 and under are free. Proceeds from the breakfast stay in the community and support the many projects of the Boardman Rotary.
Tickets can be purchased at the door.
