We'll be open for tours from 8-4 on Sat. and 9-4 on Sun. We have the sugar house end of it, but not the woods. The Barrington Fire Dept. across the street will be having a pancake breakfast Sat. morning from 8-11.

Russ Lampron (Loudon) has everything at his house, but the releaser w/ tank is down far away from th SH.

I'm not sure who you could check out with everything at the SH.

I will be open 9-4 Saturday and 11-4 Sunday here at Red Roof Maples, 7064 Pleasant St Ext, Loudon NH. Like Josh said my releaser is set up down in the woods but a ride down on the 4 wheelers isn't out of the question. If you were to come after closing on Saturday or before opening on Sunday I could spend more time with you. I also have an RO if you want to check that out.

Jim how do you like the new vacuum pump? I was looking at those at Lapierre's open house last year.

I am at 137 willow rd, East kingston I will open 10-3 both days all my stuff comes right to back of the sugarhouse. releaser is right in back!!! 2 pipe sap ladder set up about 40-50 feet in back of the sugar house. (although I have to build a bridge to it its in the swamp!!!:rolleyes:) but I have lots of pallets so I was thinking of putting some down to get to it. I have a little bb2 but its a good runner!!!
