Art Out My Window



This photo was taken from inside the evaporating room at Maple Wood Park in LaGrange, Indiana on March 18th.

Every year I visit Maple Wood Park to celebrate the beginning of spring at the sugar tapping festival. It is a wonderful weekend where folks can go out into the sugar groves on the wagons pulled by Draft horses. This year there was a wonderful marionette show by Scott Beam featuring his own puppets.

The Lions Club of LaGrange cooks pancakes and sausage for all who enter (for a few dollars). This is an all you can eat pancake breakfast with fresh maple syrup from the sugar camp.
