Are you ready for some pancakes? March is the perfect time to get a taste of real maple syrup. Hartman Reserve is hosting a Maple Syrup Festival on March 1-2 from 7 am-1 pm. Parking/shuttle bus service will be available from Cedar Heights Elementary School. This is an all-you-can eat pancake breakfast that also includes sausage, Starbucks coffee and Hansen’s milk & dairy! You can have fun while you eat and try and catch your pancakes in the air! There are all kinds of events to keep the whole family entertained. Some activities include demonstration of the maple syrup process and nature art activity by the Hearst Center in the Buckles building.
