Step into springtime at The Village where something suspicious has happened in the sugarbush!

Snoop around the site looking for clues to help us solve the case. Families will work alongside our very own Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to solve riddles, uncover clues, and question villagers to find the sticky culprit.
