Oh divine liquid called maple syrup, we love thee
Update: and the winner is….
First County Bank is again (12 years) sponsoring the maple syrup utopia that goes down year after year, only this time things are a bit different. You might remember there was a Chef’s Challenge where local chefs and caterers cooked and baked with maple syrup, then came back a few weeks later for Maple Sugar Sunday for a final face off. This year both events are taking place on the same weekend!
Yup, Maple Sugar Festival Weekend is just about a week away at Stamford Museum & Nature Center. If you’d like a preview of what’s to come, check out our past posts on maple syrup comas and our breakdown of Maple Sugar Sunday. Here are all the syrupy sweet details:

This will be another great time for maple syrup lovers, couples, friends, and families to come down and check out why SM&NC is so awesome. We bought a membership last year, so really think about the benefits. You get lower entry fees to special events, you get to visit for free during the year, and most importantly you get to help SM&NC to thrive.
