Highland Maple Festival begins this weekend

Maple Festival 2009.
SWAC Daughter made a friend.


The streets of Monterey will once again be overflowing with visitors as the 52nd Annual Highland Maple Festival begins this weekend, running March 13-14 and March 20-21, 2010.

Head over early to spend the day and you can indulge in maple pancakes for breakfast, maple chicken for lunch, and maple donuts and funnel cakes for snacks as you tour the sugar camps.

It may be warm where you live but be sure to carry a heavy coat and boots because it's still winter in the mountains with plenty of snow and cold winds.

FLOOD WATCH: This weekend's weather forecast for Highland is calling for rain, heavy at times, on Saturday ... and more rain on Sunday, with chance of flooding and dense fog because of the snowpack still on the ground. Check out the seven day forecast.

If this weekend's weather does not cooperate, there's always next weekend. Be safe out there....
