Do you have you plans for breakfast or lunch this weekend?
Gather your family and friends and head to St. Joseph Island for a very popular and highly anticipated event, the 51st annual Maple Syrup Festival.
The maple syrup festival, hosted by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 374 in Richards Landing, will be held on April 7 and 8, and 14 and 15. The event features all-you-can-eat pancakes and sausage topped with local maple syrup will run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the James Harten Memorial Centre in Richards Landing.
Cost for the meal is $9.50 adults, $8.50 seniors and $5 for children.
This year, the festival acknowledges the relationship built in the community. Developed and maintained over the years, the good rapport is a key part of the prosperity and strength of all.
On April 7, opening day, come out and meet your area leaders, the MP, MPP, mayors and organization officials who will join and assist at the event. Have some pancakes and help recognize the success of working together.
For 51 years, the Maple Syrup Festival has been the key fundraising event for the Legion on St. Joseph Island, allowing the branch to reliably offer support to veterans and their families, help the seniors and the youth, and work with many other organizations in the community and in the catchment area. The magnitude of this festival is but one of the activities that illustrates the positive relationship the Legion has built in the area.
Local maple syrup producers as well as various craft and arts vendors will be on site.
