CHARDON, OHIO, February 10, 2020 – The Chardon Kiwanis is anxious to see the arrival of maple season in Northeast Ohio. There is no better time in Geauga County than maple season because of the wonderful events involving a sweet local product we have all become connoisseur of. The Kiwanis Club of Chardon is pleased to be part of this local tradition.
In the coming weeks, for yet another year, the Kiwanis Club of Chardon will gather at the kitchen of the Pilgrim Christian Church to bottle some of the sweet stuff produced at local farm sugarhouses, which is already flowing at some local sugarhouses. The syrup that will be bottled will be sold at the Heritage House on the square this spring.
The Heritage House on the square will be open starting with Tapping Sunday on March 1 and each Sunday following from 11 AM to 3:30 PM. In addition, the Heritage House will be open for maple sales on the traditional Easter Egg Hunt to be held on 4/11 starting at 9 AM. During the Maple Festival, which is April 25th through the 28th, Kiwanis Maple products including Maple Cotton Candy will be sold and all proceeds will go to scholarships and other community projects.
Those that stop by can expect to find our own Maple Cotton Candy, Maple Syrup, famous Maple Cream and Sugar. As in previous years, all profits from Kiwanis will support the scholarships to graduating senior class planning class to attend college or trade school as well various welfare projects throughout the year.
“Being able to enjoy something sweet while helping area youth pursue their further education is a great way to celebrate our great maple tradition,” said Dave Browne, Chairperson of Maple Sales for 2020. “I encourage you to come out to the Heritage House to purchase something special and support our area students.”
