Clean up will be on Monday, April 7 at 9:00. Spring cleaning will be happening. All the stuff will be cleaned out from the garage and the finishing house. All the buckets and spiles have to be washed, all the tents put away, and everything from Maple Fest tucked away for another year.
Breakfast for the volunteers is on April 8th at 10 am. The syrup will be passed out to those who have earned it.
Again, Thank you all so much for your dedication to the Maple Program, and we cannot wait to see everyone during that weekend!
Sincerely,
MacKenzie Staff and the Friends of MacKenzie
