The maple syrup is $15 per bottle.  Keep in mind this is a fundraiser for the playground project at the Wick Recreation Area in Mill Creek Park.

I think of it this way.  For my $15 donation to the playground project, I receive a bottle of locally produced maple syrup.

Shoot, my friend, it's well worth it. I love Mill Creek Park, always did, and always will. When we were living on the west side, Mill Creek Park was our back yard. When I went to school, I went through the park. In the summer I hiked through the park at least once a week, when we were going through rough times with my Stepfather dying of cancer, we'd take Mother for trips to Fellow's Riverside Gardens to get her mind off her worries for a while. No Jay, for all that that park has given to us, $15.00 is not too much.

I purchased a bottle this morning.   I guess they started selling the syrup way before 10:00 a.m.

My great grandmother had a house on Western Reserve road in Canfield.
She used to make maple syrup every year from the grove of trees behind
her farm house, in a "sugar house" (so she called it) on the farm.

I remember helping her pound the little metal spigots into the trees in the
spring when the sap started flowing, and hanging little buckets on them.

If you go to White House farms they have local maple syrup. Also local honey. It's a little pricier but better product and not all the junk in it
