Join the fun as this family favorite returns to the Stamford Museum & Nature Center (39 Scofieldtown Road) on Sunday, March 6, from 11 am – 3 pm! Adults and kids will delight in a visit to the little red sugarhouse at the Center’s Heckscher Farm. Here live demonstrations will show visitors how sap is turned into sweet maple syrup. The event admission which includes parking is $5 for members and $10 for non-members.
This event offers a multitude of activities sure to please everyone in the family! See how trees are tapped and sap is collected, make a maple-themed craft, enjoy the popular pancake brunch, go on a scavenger hunt, get your face painted and more. A special treat is to watch local chefs create delicious dishes using maple syrup in a winner-takes-all maple cook-off!
Additionally, people can help support the Maple Sugar Education Program at the Stamford Museum & Nature Center with their Sponsor-A-Bucket program! Your support will be acknowledged with a personalized name tag that will hang on your personal sap bucket throughout the season…with a “sweet” end result! At the end of the season each Sponsor will receive a pint of SM&NC’s very own pure Connecticut Maple Syrup. Each sponsorship opportunity is $50.
