For a family event that is both fun and educational, it’s hard to top the annual Pancake Breakfast and Maple Sugaring Celebration at the Tyler Arboretum (515 Painter Road, Media, 610-566-9134, www.tylerarboretum.org).
The popular wintertime event will be held on February 22 from 8 a.m.-noon.
The Pancake Breakfast brings visitors to the arboretum site on a Saturday morning in February each year to dine at an all-you-can-eat pancake and sausage breakfast — a hearty morning meal featuring hot pancakes, savory sausage, fresh maple syrup, coffee, tea and juice.
After enjoying the tasty morning meal, visitors can go out into the arboretum to learn how real maple syrup — not maple-flavored pancake syrup — is made.
Demonstrations and maple sugaring tours are presented throughout the morning at the old-fashioned maple sugaring festival. The tours show how authentic maple sugar is made — a process that involves tapping the trees and boiling down the sap.
If you’ve ever wondered why real maple syrup is so expensive, look at the numbers. It takes about 40 gallons of maple sap to make one gallon of syrup and it takes about 30 years for a sugar maple tree to grow large enough to tap.
Tickets for the Pancake Breakfast are $20 for adults and $12 for children (ages 3-12).

The Wilmington Run, which is for anyone over the age of 21, begins with drinking and dancing, followed by an approximate 800-meter run that culminates in a dance party.

Activities center around Tonic Seafood & Steak (111 West 11th Street, Wilmington) from noon-4 p.m. on February 22. Registration starts at $45. To register, visit my.cupids.org.
