Enjoy syrup tasting, butter-blending, and waffle decoration stations inspired by the book, "Bite by Bite" by Aimee Nezhukumatathil, an NEA Big Read.

Bite by Bite by Aimee Nezhukumatathil Inspired by Bite by Bite: Nourishments and Jamborees, Aimee Nezhukumatathil’s essay collection on the foods that shape our stories, we invite you to drop in and celebrate the book at our different stations:

Try the different grades of maple syrup;
Explore different flavor combinations at the butter-blending station;
Decorate your own waffle — one to eat and one to display as a work of art.

Ingredients may contain allergens and are available while supplies last.
