This weekend was the annual Geauga County Maple Festival, here in Chardon. It has been going on since 1926. It is a pretty big deal. Over the course of the week, we watched the quiet square get packed with carnival rides, tents, food vendors, and temporary log cabins for the maple producers. We went on Saturday afternoon. Joe and the boys worked Saturday evening at the parking lot at a bank right on the square, parking cars. It is the scouts' big fundraiser. People gladly pay $5 to park right there next to the action. The weather was beautiful when we went.
We watched the lumberjack competition for a few minutes.

We ran into several friends there, and Emma and I rode the ferris wheel with two of her friends from school.
We also got maple stirs, which are cups with maple syrup that has been heated to 234 degrees, and you stir and stir until it turns into maple sugar candy. Yum!
We enjoyed watching statue man.
