It’s going to be a sweet day at Grey Roots Museum and Archives just outside of Owen Sound.
The 9th annual Maple Syrup Festival is being put on in conjunction with Sainte-Dominique-Savio school.
Principal Roger Lebel says the maple syrup and sugar shack tradition is a long-standing French-Canadian tradition.
He says this event began in 2003 and they want to continue to celebrate the tradition with a French flair in Grey-Bruce.
Lebel says there will be many activities for the whole family — including, of course, a pancake and maple syrup breakfast.
There will also be scrambled eggs, sausages, toast, and homemade baked beans.
Other activities will include a horse-drawn sleigh ride, and making maple taffy on the snow.
You can also wander the heritage village and view blacksmith and sheep-shearing demonstrations, stories from the past, and stories of how the pioneers learned sap-tapping and syrup making from the Ojibway.
Admission to the museum will get you breakfast, or you can just pay for the breakfast.
It costs 5 dollars per adult, three dollars for kids 5-12, and free for kids under five years old.
The festival runs from 9 AM until Noon on Saturday.
