Maple syrup enthusiasts, brace yourselves for a sticky and sweet adventure in Carver County this April. The Carver County Parks Department has announced its annual Maple Syrup Festival, scheduled for April 6, at the scenic Baylor Regional Park. This event promises to be a treat for syrup lovers and those looking to learn about this sap's journey from tree to table.

According to a Facebook post by Carver County Parks, the festival isn't just about indulging in the end product—visitors will have the chance to follow the maple syrup process, step-by-step, starting with the tapping of maple trees. With demonstrations showing the boiling process, the event is a hands-on educational experience for the whole family.

The festival also delves into the rich history of maple syrup in Minnesota, offering an intriguing historical context that sweetens the deal. After sating their curiosity about the syrup's origins, attendees can indulge in a Maple Syrup Brunch. The brunch features a spread of pancakes, bacon, and oatmeal, drizzled with the park's own maple syrup, alongside other sides like ice cream for those with an insatiable sweet tooth.

Carver County is pulling all stops to ensure this event is one to remember, offering not just a feast for the taste buds, but a rich educational experience that connects visitors with local history and tradition.
