NEW: Silent Auction Our newest event is a Silent Auction which will be held in the Warming Shed from 10-2:30. We are raising money for much needed renovations and an addition to the Maple Sugar House. All of the proceeds from the auction will go towards this project. We are hoping that you will consider donating an item or a service to this worthy cause. You will be provided with a 501-C3 form for your records. There will be a list of all donations and contributors at the park and on our website. (This will be posted a couple of weeks before the fair in September.)
