Our last meeting was held at Welshfield Inn. You can
never go wrong with their many favorites like
Chicken Pot Pie, Chicken Marsala or Beef and
Mushroom Stroganoff. Yum!
Our guest speaker was Barb Knapp representing the
Master Gardeners and their biannual event “Gardens
Galore”.
These next two dinner meetings will be on the second
Thursday of the month for February and March. You
can expect another great meal from Mangia, Mangia
(see menu below) and some interesting information
from two local business owners; Rachel Strong
(Geauga News) and Gabe Arnold (tekk3) at this
month’s meeting.
Our next big maple event will be the Tree Tapping
Ceremony held on Saturday, February 14th
from 10am – 4pm.
Be sure to join us to officially start the Maple Syrup
Season! We will provide a bucket, lid and a spile to
tap a maple tree in the Burton Village Green and you
will have the opportunity to put your name on that
tree for the 2015 maple season. There will be free
refreshments and demonstrations while you sit in
front of a roaring fire to warm up after your tree
tapping adventure at the Burton Chamber Log Cabin
and Sugar Camp. Family fun! Outside event, dress
appropriately. Spend Valentine’s Day loving the
maple tree as much as we do!
Burton Chamber of Commerce Log Cabin and Sugar
Camp – more than Maple since 1931!
