Lunenburg Maple Festivals 
 

We celebrated our maple sugaring heritage! Around the common, March 29, 2008

     The Lunenburg Historical Society participated again this year in the Lunenburg Maple Festival sponsored by the Top of the Common Committee. Interactive displays of the history of sugaring in Lunenburg were expanded this year and a new scavenger hunt was created for our visitors to enjoy. Our 2008 calendars, as well as previous years, were available for sale along with past Echo newsletters and donated painted items by Harriet Whitehead. 

     It was a great pleasure to have on display the maple theme quilt designed and assembled by Rita Cloutier of Lancaster and Diana Cady of Lunenburg. The Society was very grateful for their generous donation of time and skill! The quilt contained all the entries from our 2007 Maple Theme Quilt Square Contest held at last year's Maple Festival and additional squares that were donated after the contest to total enough to make the quilt. Chances were sold to own the quilt and the delighted winner was Trudy Parker of Lunenburg. Along with the quilt, Trudy received a booklet containing a digital photo of each square contained in the quilt, noting its creator and their place of residence.
