Maple Syrup Festival




Here are some pics of the children enjoying the maple toffee and one of them in a trapper's tent set up by the Metis. Jamie particularly enjoyed being shown how to start a fire with flint, a piece of metal and some hemp rope. We stayed for a bit to listen to the music by Coulee, a Metis performance group from Saint-Laurent, Manitoba. I was really hoping to catch this performance, but the children had had enough by then.
