Hungry for an adventure? Lace up your boots and head to the 41st annual Maple Syrup Festival March 23-24 in Cedar Rapids.
This year, as in the past, visitors to the Indian Creek Nature Center can hike the property, hear maple sap drip-drip-drip into buckets and see (and smell!) the historic sugar shack where all that sap is distilled, the traditional way, in big steaming cauldrons. And then, of course, you can head to the main building to hear some live music and stuff yourself with syrup-slathered pancakes and sausage.
