FAYETTE — The public is invited Sunday, March 17, between 11 a.m.-2 p.m., to 4-H Camp Palmer to learn about maple syrup making, to ride on horse-drawn wagons, and eat in a brunch with real maple syrup for the pancakes (as long as supplies last) in the camp’s dining hall.

The camp nature center will also be open for visitors to see and to touch a variety of reptiles.

At noon and 1 p.m., those attending can view a maple syrup history lesson in the Sauder Recreation Hall.

Those participating may see maple trees that have been tapped and see ongoing maple syrup making in the main camp. Some maple syrup products will also be available for purchase.

The cost of pancakes and sausage and a drink is $6 (ages 3 and under free) and will help support funding the purchase of high ropes equipment.
