Yesterday I made my annual trek to Elmira, Ontario for the maple syrup festival. It was a sunny but cool Saturday and I enjoyed the festivities. This year marked the 51st occasion that the town of Elmira has hosted the event, the largest one-day maple syrup festival in the entire world. This year, for the first time, I took the sugar bush tour. Participants head out to a sugar shack. They ride part of the way on a school bus and then complete the journey on a hay wagon pulled by a tractor.
