2nd annual Maple Syrup Day flows with family fun

To celebrate and educate are the goals of the 2nd annual Kentucky Maple Day, sponsored by the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service and the Kentucky Maple Syrup Association. From Livingston County in the west to Pike County in the east and parts in-between, maple syrup producers will open their farms and sugarhouses to the public Feb. 6, during the peak of the maple sugaring season.

Sheryl Long of Southdown Farm in Letcher County checks the sugar content of the maple sap as it boils down. Jeremy Williams watches the process.
