You can feel it in the air. You can see it on the calendar. Heck, you can probably taste it in your mind.

It’s Festival time.

As has been tradition for over four decades now, the arrival of Spring in Beaver County is joined by the arrival of the Maple Syrup Festival. The tradition–of live entertainment, local craftsmen and vendors, as well as the delicious pancakes–is now in its 42nd year and set to commence on April 6-7 at Brady’s Run Lodge.

The 2019 Maple Syrup Festival is presented, as always, by the Beaver County Conservation District, and Director Jim Shaner joined Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County to break down what it takes to put the festival on, all of the events and aspects that county citizens have come to know and love, and the great cause of helping the Conservation District by attending the festival.
