Sugarbush Maple Festival Field Trip







Clifton homeschooled students and their families attended the Sugarbush Maple Festival in Salem, IN in early March. Thank you to Kathy Nelson for publicizing this event to Clifton families. At the Festival, kids and their parents experienced Indian and pioneer syrup-making evaporator, the sugarhouse, and tasted fresh maple syrup, candy, maple cream and cotton candy.


The festival also featured Indian and pioneer syrup making demonstrations, and offered a children's game area, mule-drawn wagon, and llama-petting area. Sugarbush staff demonstrate crosscut saws in operation, fiddle, gospel, and dulcimer music, as well as tomahawk-throwing.

If you missed this year's field trip, the Sugarbush Festival is an ANNUAL event! Plan to attend with friends and family NEXT spring!
