Maple festival at Sharpe Reservation in Fishkill As you may know, sugaring season is kicking into high gear with these warmer daytime temperatures, and the Sharpe Reservation’s popular annual festival, a fundraiser for the Fresh Air Fund, takes place this Saturday, March 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

I know of families who have been attending this event for years, who look forward to sampling and casting their votes in the maple syrup contest (will Bowdoin Park win this year?), enjoy the planetarium show ($2 donation), see live animals, hear live music, make nature-related crafts, learn from demos and Sharpe Historical Character actors and more.

This festival is free and open to the public. The Sharpe Reservation is located at 436 Van Wyck Lake Road in Fishkill.

For more information or a complete schedule of the day’s events, call (845) 896-5910 or visit www.freshair.org/ sharpe-reservation.

SUNDAY, MARCH 16 Shamrock Run & Saint Patrick’s Parade in Kingston

ends at the foot of Broadway. Bring canned or dry boxed food to the race to help support an area food pantry.

I learned from our recent volunteer stint at People’s Place food pantry that canned fruit cocktail and jarred spaghetti sauce are important staples that they always need the most. And on top of, or instead of, running shorts, runners are being asked to wear kilts to help achieve a new world record. For more information or to register, call (845) 389-3896 or visit www.shamrockrunners.org.

13 Then, immediately following the race at 1 p.m., stick around for the largest parade in the Hudson Valley: the Kingston Saint Patrick’s Parade. Wave to parade youth dignitaries, Irish Princess Meghan Gavis and Bearer of St. Patrick Jared Kinnin, and see if your float picks match up with the judges’ winners: Best Band; Best School Float; Best-Decorated Float; Best Original Group; and Best Irish Spirit. For more information, visit www.ulsteraoh. com.

“Flat, Fast and First-Class” is the tagline for the 26th annual Shamrock Run, which takes place in Kingston on Sunday, March 16 at 12:50 p.m. Registration costs $25, and the two-mile race begins at Academy Green and
