FULTON — Eleven youngsters will enjoy the experience of attending camp as a result of the high attendance at the annual Lutheran Memorial Camp Maple Syrup Festival held Sunday, March 8.
Pat Surbella, the camp’s office manager, said there were 483 visitors to the event which featured pancakes with maple syrup. “This high attendance will allow us to give the experience of camping to 11 youngsters,” said Surbella.
There were 51 volunteers and members of Cub Scout Pack 95, Cardington, assisting with the day’s events. Erlston Brothers Maple Syrup, Mount Gilead, provided the syrup for the dinner. Camp volunteers drove wagons that transported visitors on camp tours that included observing the heating of sorghum in the kettle over the fire and the resulting maple syrup.
Avalon Nine entertained musically throughout the day.
Mild, sunny weather helped to attract visitors to the scenic camp and LMC officials thank all you attended.
