Community Support

Maple Syrup Days is made possible by the generosity of local financial support.  Grants received may vary and are often from one or more of the following: LaGrange County REMC Roundup, LaGrange County Community Foundation, and/or LaGrange County Community Visitors Bureau. Grant funds help us provide free entertainment, wagon rides, and interpretive services for the public to enjoy.

Friends of LaGrange County Parks have been instrumental in the success of the pancake breakfast & syrup store and offer fire-warmed sap for tea.   

TriKappa LaGrange Chapter volunteers every year to make all the cotton candy in the syrup store and are great supporters in LaGrange County. 

Maple Syrup Days is also made possible through the efforts of the many interpreters and volunteers who offer their time and talents -- from backyard syrup demonstrations, wagon ride storytellers, sugar shack hosts, serving breakfast, completing sales in the syrup store, making kettle corn, and more.
