Children, ages 12 and under, were invited to participate in the egg hunt with everyone receiving a chocolate treat. There were also numerous special draws for the children.

The event is organized each year by the Saugeen Valley Conservation Foundation and features a wide variety of demonstrations and activities. Visitors could get their fill of maple treats and of course pancakes and syrup! Kevin mentioned that he had brought along a copy of the Town Crier which provided the perfect opportunity for this photo. That paper sure gets out and about! – Town Crier photo
