Maple Madness returns to celebrate 40 years in Kingston – Kingston | 24CA News

The sugar bush on the Cataraqui Creek Conservation space was filled with households there to have a good time the fortieth version of the annual Maple Madness. There had been enjoyable actions for the household, pancakes being served, and a collection of shows that went over the historical past of maple syrup.

“They can see how different times in history, making maple sugar and maple syrup was done,” says nature interpreter Anne Bown.

According to her, the favored custom had considerably humble beginnings.

“It actually started as an education program for kids coming out from schools for field trips.”

And whereas Jayden Stewart wasn’t current for that inaugural journey, he’s having fun with his time on the occasion now. The half he appreciated probably the most may come as a shock.

“Probably making the buttons because I can just put them on my backpack or jacket and bring them with me and it’ll remind me of going to this place,” he mentioned.

The occasion will probably be held each weekend in March, offering ample time for extra households to make recollections they will carry with them for the remainder of the 12 months.
