The McCreary District Economic Development Corporation Board (MDEDB) in partnership with the McCreary Agricultural Society and Burrows Trail Arts Council is seeking the generous support of merchants and dealerships in McCreary and the surrounding towns.

Also if individuals want to re-gift items for the auction we will gladly accept donations. McCreary has been given the designation as the Maple Syrup Capital of Manitoba.  To celebrate this designation and to attract visitors to our district, the MDEDB along with the McCreary Ag Society and Burrows Trail Arts Council are hosting the third Annual Maple Syrup Festival to be held in our area.

A variety of events have been planned for April 11, 2015,  including  wagon rides to the sugar bush, bannock-on-a-stick,sugaring-off, games for the whole family, a workshop with and performance by the Asham Stompers, Christina the Crazy Hooper, Christopher Pinette, local band President’s Choice,and more. There will be something for everyone!!We are in need of prizes for the events, especially for the “Paper Bag” Auction. 

Any and all contributions will be gratefully accepted.  Contributions will be acknowledged on a banner displayed at the event, showing the names of people or businesses that have helped us out in any way! The Manitoba Maple Syrup Festival will be successful with the active support and participation of businesses.  Our community and committee owe our thanks to businesses such as yours.
