Bring the whole family for a fun day at the Proulx Sugar Bush in Cumberland which is located at 1865 O’Toole Road (accessible off Queen Street to the North, off Innis Road in the South, and all East of Trim Road).

Once you arrive at the farm parking lot, you will be met by a board member, and given a pass which will get you through all activities at the farm. Activities include a horse-drawn hay ride from the parking lot to the dining room and sugar bush area, through the old maple bush, a guided tour, the petting farm, nature walking trails, children play area, and your brunch.

The Danish Club of Ottawa is scheduled a special time slot for the meal, therefore we must meet at the parking lot no later than 10.00 a.m. sharp. The Sugar Bush says “there will be No Exceptions” as they have line ups waiting.

The cost is $14.00 for adults and $8.00 for children under 12 years, with children under three (3) free. To register please reserve by calling Ted at (613) 824-4838 then sending in the registration form with your cheque. Deadline date is March 20, 2012

The “cheese lover’s” perfect night, what more can we say? Hopefully our resident ‘chef’ will be available to give a demonstration on how to prepare a few varieties of hot cheese dishes. There will be some wine to accompany the tasting experience as well. A variety of worldly cheeses for a “name that cheese contest” will keep you guessing for a while.

It was suggested that you bring your favorite board or card game and get your friends talking about their funniest Christmas experiences over a glass of wine or beer.

Please join us January 27, 2012 at 7:30 pm at the St. John’s Lutheran Church Hall.
