[markct]

i have heard of this before and found it on there website but it says nothing about it realy, just who to contact to register etc, nothing about who can go or what its about? is it like informational like the seminars at bascoms? can just anyone attend or only vt sugarmakers? is there a cost? sounds like it might be a nice trip next weekend if its something worthwhile

Hey Mark,
Maplerama is the state maple tours, held each year, in a different county each year. It consists of a tradeshow on Thursday, tours to a variety of sugarhouses on Friday,followed by a banquet. Saturday is typically more tours, with a BBQ at one of the stops. These are run by each counties' maple association, and vary widely. You can check with Andy, under the tapping in Vt thread for the info to register if you wish. It's typically a great time, with lots of conversation with other maple producers.

thanks guys for the general info, sounds a little more involved than i would care to get into this weekend. definatly sounds interesting and informative tho, by the way anyone know what the cost is? and how is it work, everyone just drives around and visits each sugarhouse along the route at there leasure or is it more of a structured thing going from one to the next
