The annual Muskoka Maple Festival, featuring all things maple including pancakes (of course!), maple taffy, tasty maple-inspired cuisine, and rows and rows of maple syrup, gathered an eager crowd on Saturday, April 27. Live music and wild entertainers ramped up the excitement of the day, and helped to drive away the cool temperatures.<\/p>\n
