A year has gone by and another Sapfest has come to pass. I went to the Elmira Syrup festival today. I didn’t feel the crowd was as big this year as it was the past couple years. Last year you could barely move on the street. This year, there were a few empty pockets on the street. I think the reduced crowd mostly had to do with the cold and overcast weather. I find it amazing how big this event is in our little town. The volume of people that visits Elmira on Sapfest is just incredible.

I enjoyed the usual stuff; you know, apple fritters, back bacon on a bun and last but not least, pancakes! We usually walk up and down the street and look at all the vendors. It’s hard to resist all the different food options. Today was definitely the day not to be worried about the calories.

I am not sure what my favourite part of the festival is. Each year I enjoy something different. It’s really nice bumping into friends and acquaintances. I think that is what I enjoyed the most this year.

All and all it was a great time and I am looking forward to 2010.
