It's maple syrup season in central Minnesota, and you have plenty of chances to celebrate. You can take a tour of the maple syrup operation at Stearns County's Kraemer Lake - Wildwood County Park. Also, St. John's Outdoor University is hosting their annual Maple Syrup Festivals in the Abbey Arboretum this Saturday and next Saturday from 1:00 until 4:00 p.m.
You may be enjoying our mild weather, but it's stressing-out the people who make syrup. John O'Reilly is the Assistant Director of the St. John's Arboretum. He says they started tapping their trees on Saturday, but the forecast isn't the best for them.
