Missaukee County Farm Bureau’s Promotion & Education outreach shared a program with two area school libraries during March is Reading Month. 

Children and adults at Lake City and McBain schools enjoyed the book, Maple Syrup from the Sugarhouse.

After the story the children created goofy pancakes and learned how maple syrup is made, from collecting tree sap to boiling it down and filling jars.

The morning topped off with everyone enjoying fresh waffles and homemade maple syrup. 

It was a fun and educational time for everyone!

Ellen Vanderwal is Promotion & Education chair for the Missaukee County Farm Bureau.
