Upcoming trade shows

[ELM_DALE_MAPLE]

I know about Leader's customer appreciation coming up on April 15-16th. Is there any other maple shows coming up and any opinions on which are the best shows to attend??

I think all the companies are having their open house that weekend. I know Lapierre is. They're all pretty close together, too. Swanton/St. Albans area.

May not be that popular around here this year.... we may be still boiling!

I thought they seemed a little early this year. Was talking to Rany Gaudette at Leader a couple of days ago and he told me the peak two weeks for their area was the first two weeks of April. Who wants to have to deal with a trade show when sap is running like crazy. I think it would hurt their sales too.

I understand somebody screwed up on the planning board way back when and scheduled maplefest that weekend, so I guess that dictates when they do openhouses.
