Saturday, March 24, 2007 - Syrup in the Spring

The syrup in the spring pancake breakfast had about 30 folks attend. It was an unusually warm day for March and all seem to have a good time.

They enjoyed visiting with friends and were entertained by the Root Cellar String Band.

Natalie had a display for tree identification and Fruths Sugar House had their maple syrup products for sale. Maple syrup produced locally, it just doesn’t get any better than that.

This year we had a few folks visit us from the Toledo area. They read about us in the paper and were surprised to learn that the park was here. Well like we say, Van Buren State Park is the best kept secret in NW Ohio. But the word is getting spread around about this small but great state park.

I want to thank Natalie our park naturalist and of course all our great volunteers for the time they put in on events like this.

Also a special thanks to the band. They are very talented and a joy to listen to.

After expenses we made a little money and of course all monies are spent on activities and helping make improvements in the park.

Our goal is to make Van Buren State Park the best little state park in Ohio!

Watch our calendar of events for upcoming activities in the park and come and enjoy. Bring a friend.

We are always in need of volunteers. Those interested please contact Natalie or one of the officers of the friends group and we will get you involved.

Thanks

Tom
