Is Winter dragging on and on and on? Are you fed up with hearing ‘I’m bored’? Are you tired of being cooped up in the house? Are you WAY overdue for a walk in the woods?

Join KCP&R for just what the doctor ordered ~ Sugar Camp at Middleton-Mills Park, beginning Monday, February 27! Elrod Tapper (Mike Strohm) will again be demonstrating the art and science of making maple syrup. Step back in time! Experience life in a mid-1800’s backwoods sugar camp. Was living in ‘the olden days’ really a simpler time? You be the judge!

Taste unrefined sweet sap water and sample home-made maple syrup!

Call (859) 525-PLAY (7529) today for reservations for Monday-Friday with sessions from 10~11:30 am, 12~1:30 pm, and 2~3:30 pm. On Saturday, it's 10 am~3:30 pm with no resevations required. And, there'll be additional primitive arts being demonstrated with corn husk doll-making and a working blacksmith.

Experience the wonder of Nature at its best-tasting best! Mother Nature holds the key: When the sap starts runnin’, we’ll be makin’ maple syrup! And it's runnin' NOW!

Directions: From I-275, take Exit 79. Go south on KY 16 for 7 miles. Turn L on Mills Road. Turn R as you enter the park and follow signs to Sugar Camp.
