NYS Maple Producers Association Sponsors Free Educational Event

NYS Maple Producers Association is a not-for-profit comprised of the folks who make maple syrup in New York State.  The Association is welcoming everyone to visit member Sugar Houses on “Maple Weekend” April 2 and 3 to learn about the process of making maple syrup.  Kent’s Sugar House will be the Rensselaer County host. It is located at 2529 Plank Road in Berlin, and will be open from 10 am to 4 pm on the Maple Weekend. [private]Maple Weekend demonstrations will show how the old-timers used to gather and make syrup, and how the production process has changed today to a computerized system.  This is a great spring-time opportunity for learning and fun for the whole family.
Syrup, maple cream, candy, popcorn and other products will be on hand for those looking to take the sweet stuff home.  Or simply stop by to visit.
The event is free and open to everyone.  Dress for the weather and wear appropriate shoes for being in the woods and the mud, which may be plentiful!  For more information visit www.mapleweekend.com or https://www.facebook.com/events/767052326759184/
