Festival of the Maples

April 28, 2018
I think Maplefest is the first festival of the season. Spring is here! It had dumped rain overnight, and we expected more, everyone took advantage of the break. It was packed! It's all about food and maple syrup. We have quite a few producers in the area. JB bought some from this beautiful young lady at Oliver's Mapleworks.
After this, we went home. The kids were coming for a visit and for dinner.





They were making smores!!! How hot is that?! Home heating is pretty important in Lanark County!


Lots of colour!



There were lots of food booths.


We both had a chicken fajita in a pita bread. It was messy and delicious!


Lots of fundraisers...


There is always a kids' area, with firefighters and big trucks.


The OPP always have a big presence. You can check out the trucks, and talk to them.


The signage is clear:
The church should charge for parking during festivals! The parking lot was packed.

Perth's Maplefest 2013


It's the annual Festival of the Maples. It was cool and rainy, but that didn't matter at all.
It was the usual suspects: fishing for prizes, petting zoos, pony rides, and EMS crews showing off their stuff!
jaws of life!

We have volunteer firefighters, as do many rural towns. They took apart a car.

There was a lot of music, too!
nothing better than a hot dog
Max Keeping was there!

Mica Festival begins soon.
Brock, a MPP employee, with entertainment!
