www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday March 1, 2008 - 13 Maple syrup is flowing in March at Bronte Creek Park Fresh Ontario maple syrup begins flowing at Bronte Creek Provincial Park today, as the park's month-long Maple Syrup Festival gets under way. "The Maple Syrup Festival is a great time to visit Bronte Creek Provincial Park. Spruce Lane Farm is alive with activity. The Maple Syrup Festival combines natural resources and our cultural heritage seamlessly," says festival organizer Andrew Cirtwill. "As much as maple syrup is a part of our cultural heritage...now attending our Maple Syrup Festival has become an annual tradition for many families." The maple syrup festivities are open to the public from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. every weekend in March and from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily through March Break (March 10-14). In 2008 visitors can enjoy all the festival attractions on Good Friday and Easter Monday. Hop on a wagon that will take you to a heated pancake house where you can enjoy fresh, hot pancakes with pure maple syrup and crisp bacon, served up throughout the festival hours. Enjoy a guided tour of the Maple Lane, where 1890s-costumed interpreters demonstrate how to tap maple trees and make maple syrup and maple sugar. Visitors can sit back and watch a movie in the logging theatre, view artifacts in the maple museum or tour the 100-year-old Spruce Lane farmhouse. Be sure to browse through the maple products and souvenirs available in the Maple Gift Shoppe and pick up a bottle of syrup to take home. Daily vehicle permits are $12.85/ vehicle or $39.60/bus.
