One time D got a bottle for Christmas from some one, I think his sister, who found it at a local market (I believe from Moose Meadows Farm up in Quesnel (2.5 hrs north of here).<BR/><BR/>I wish we could buy Maple Syrup locally Cicero Singshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438108795744902961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-37671325248433760552008-04-07T19:47:00.000-04:002008-04-07T19:47:00.000-04:00Birdman- I haven't eaten apple fritters since that...Birdman- I haven't eaten apple fritters since that day. They were sooo good.<BR/><BR/>Jaspenelle- I like the medium maple syrup rather than the light. It has lots of flavour. Let me know if you try birch syrup.<BR/><BR/>Mary- I hope to see the Grand from one end to the other. I have been to Lake Erie and have seen most of it from our region south. They had 70,000 people at this year's festival.

Since moving to Maine, I have met people who use maple syrup in their coffee--I haven't tried that but do like it as a sweetener it baked goods, ice cream and pancakes.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02604780070187163751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-52166265670601038812008-04-06T23:53:00.000-04:002008-04-06T23:53:00.000-04:00I love events like that - so glad the weather was ...I love events like that - so glad the weather was good.JeanMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14536421799031706759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-65658152191898532732008-04-06T22:01:00.000-04:002008-04-06T22:01:00.000-04:00Ruth,I enjoyed your photos of the Elmira Maple Syr...Ruth,<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed your photos of the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival. I have never been. Mom and I took the grandsons to Westfield Heritage Village this year. I posted photos last Monday. Mom and I were talking and decided that next year we may go to Elmira for a change. She has been there before and thoroughly enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>Yes, the Grand is a beautiful river.
