Hooray, it’s coming — Merck’s Maple Celebration and Pancake Breakfast! It’s all kinds of fun, with sugaring demonstrations, games for the kids, wagon rides, and — of course — breakfast (pancakes laced with the best maple syrup in the universe, eggs, Merck-produced breakfast sausage, coffee and orange juice). Don’t sleep in this weekend, you don’t want to miss a morsel! Admission: $10/adults & teens, $5/children 5yo to 12 yo, free/children under 5yo.
