We are all saddened by the untimely loss of Amelia Speltz, Payson's auntie.  Amelia was my kindergartener 15 years ago, a friend to my daughter, and a very helpful volunteer for our summer programs.  She will me missed by so many. 

It's that time of year again...Maple sugaring (syrup)! My 15 year old son was in charge of tapping trees for the first time this year! Yay, Fionn!
