This is the last weekend to see Aida!

Tickets start at $23. Purchase here.
Maple Sap Collection at Echo Hill Park
When: Saturday, February 16 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Where: Echo Hill Park Playground, 42 Lilac Drive, Flemington
Collecting the sap is a crucial step of the maple sugaring process. Many methods are used on commercial farms, but the basic idea is the same – moving the sap from the maple trees to the stove. Come participate in the process at Echo Hill! Participants will meet at the playground and then walk to the sugar bush (5-10 minutes away).
