The Powassan Maple Syrup Festival is back on Saturday.
The free event runs from 9 am to 4 pm, with over 140 vendors along Main Street and inside 250 Clark.
“We’ve got a lot of different activities,” says Leo Patey, chair of the event. “We have lumberjack shows, Science North, the fur harvesters, lots of food vendors and lots of artisans coming.
The opening ceremony and pancake flipping contest are lined up for 10 am on Main Street.
Along with three pancake breakfasts at the curling club, St. Mary’s Church and the Legion, there’s a baked bean lunch at the United Church and more food at the Masonic Lodge.
Offsite Parking is at Evan Hughes Excavating.
“He’s got great space that he lets us use every year,” Patey says. “It’s on [Highway] 534 just past the school. There’s a free shuttle that will take folks to 250 Clark. But it also takes them up to Matthew’s Maple Syrup for a tour of the sugar bush.”
Other festival events include a petting zoo, bouncy castles and more.
