Today, we made it to Wakarusa, Indiana for the Wakarusa Maple Syrup Festival, which has been held there every year since 1969. We ate maple cotton candy and pancakes with pure maple syrup.
We enjoyed walking through the historic village where we met two wonderful men, the first was an Amish maple syrup developer that explained all the stages of making the stuff 100% pure. The second was an Amish blacksmith who demonstrated his process and then gave me the cool spirally spoon he made.
There was a civil war camp and a display of old tractors
When it started to rain, we decided to check out some of the antique boutiques. Before we left the town we visited the fabulous candy shop, The Dime Store.
It was another good day.
