Maple Fest starts this Saturday and the weather looks to be fantastic!! If you didn't pre-register, you can still come out and enjoy the festival. Admission at the front gate is $15 per person, meals in the dining hall are $5 each, and event patches are $3 (while supplies last). We will also have maple candy and a limited supply of hand-crafted, Camp Lazarus maple syrup for sale (while supplies last). Fan favorites, Liberty Kettle Corn and The Funnel Cake Station are both returning this year! Dress for the weather as most of our activities are outside! Don't forget to bring a mask to wear indoors (unless sitting and eating).

This past weekend, Maple Fest lost a beautiful family member and long-time volunteer. Johanna Leonard Marrazzi went home to be with Jesus very early Saturday morning after a long, hard-fought battle with breast cancer. She was only 44. She was part of our planning team, helped tap trees for many years, collected sap on many occassions, and assisted our boilers in making syrup. Thank you for your service, my dear friend and sister. You are greatly missed.
