It won’t be long and producers of Vermont’s delicious maple syrup products will be at work once again tapping their maple trees to collect sap. Poultney Area Chamber of Commerce looks forward to celebrating the season with activities held during its Maplefest 2017. This year’s celebration of the beginning of the spring season in Vermont will be held March 25 and March 26, at locations all over Poultney.
Maplefest 2017 will include a fun run, a pancake breakfast, tours of maple sugar houses, horse-drawn wagon rides and maple story time, video of the maple process, a big craft fair, a basket party, a maple supper, and the opportunity to sample sweet treats such as maple fried dough, sugar on snow, maple sugar candy and spun maple gold.
The chamber is currently taking sign-ups for the big craft fair which will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., March 25. Inside spaces are first-come, first-served.
