Sparks Notes – Bridget Hinchee, Argyle Lake State Park

The weather is getting nicer, which means Spring is the horizon, and so is the return of the 26th Annual Maple Syrup Festival out at Argyle Lake State Park!

Bridget Hinchee returns to the studio to talk about the upcoming Maple Syrup Festival including the preparations that the Friends of Argyle Lake State Park have been making, as well as the activities and goodies that participants can expect to be available like 100% real maple syrup and maple sugar cotton candy!

Plus, the Colchester Lions Club will be running their Pancake Breakfast in tandem with the Maple Syrup Festival, so you can get a hearty breakfast (or early lunch).
