Here, you can enjoy a pancake and sausage breakfast in honor of maple syrup season. Various “sugar camps” around the county will also be open for you to visit, where you can get behind-the-scenes looks at how the food ultimately makes it to your table.
Visiting the camps is a way you can engage with the community and enjoy some of the county’s attractions, such as its many covered bridges. You can get directions to the camps at The Parke County Fairgrounds.
