Owners of the
Sugarbush Cache, and host's of last years Sugarbush Pancake Brunch,
invite you to:
Sugarbush Pancake
Dinner 2007
Hosted by: James & Sheryl.
Sponsored by: NL Chapter of MIGO
Saturday March
17th
This started as a cache, grew into an event, and now looks like an
annual thing.
This is a chance to
see a small backyard maple syrup making operation.
You will be able to
log a cache that not many people will get a chance to
log,
and maybe get a
free bottle of homemade maple syrup.
And now, the Plan:
11am-3pm
Tours of a sugaring
operation, time to do the
Sugarbush Cache (for those who haven't done it), whatever else
we may devise & socialize with Cachers old and
new.
3PM-till you all
leave
Dinner at our local
Township Hall: Consisting of some great link sausage (from
our local butcher),
pancakes, butter,
maple syrup, fruit salad, milk, juice, coffee &
tea
Bring nothing
but yourselves, everything will be provided. A donation jar
will be available to help defray the costs.
Any monies
collected in excess of costs will be donated to MIGO NL
Chapter
Sugaring is highly weather dependant, even though this date has
been picked to provide the best chance of being in full swing, no
guarantees, but the event will take place regardless, even if it
becomes a meet and greet.
We ask that
everyone please RSVP so we can be prepared
We ask a few people
bring along griddles and spatulas so we can crank out enough food
for the masses in a timely manner. Please add in your posts if you
plan to bring a griddle, five or six should be plenty. Warning:
There is a chance you may get hooked into flipping a few jacks
yourself.
Now for some rules,
this will be both an outdoor and indoor event. The trails at this
time of year are highly unpredictable; they vary hour to hour as
well as day to day. Good footwear is advised, it could be snowy,
slushy, muddy, or a combination. One last thing: No smoking
in or near the horse barn.
Lawn chairs would also be a good
idea.
Bring your
appetite, lawn chairs, and prepare to spend some time with fellow
cachers.
