Your impressions?
Given that I don't know of any other place in my local area where I can touch, feel, or otherwise poke at maple equipment in real life I'll say it was great. That being said... they either got a late start or under-estimated set up time because they weren't ready when I got there nor when I left around 10:30. It was apparent they had lots planned but I think I missed much of it. Perhaps cheesegenie was there closer to noon and had a better showing. I do hope they make it an annual event but next time I will plan on showing up later when things are in full swing.
I will agree with Bryan, was great. We never have anything like this around here, so a thumbs up to the boys at Jamieson's. I got there around 10:30
or so and stayed until noon. Enjoyed looking at everything running into a few buddies, and the free hamburger and drink topped it off. That evaporator
that was running would be too big for me, $20,000. , would turn a hobby into
a job. Looked for you Bryan, no luck, some guys must have wondered why I was looking at them. Maybe next year.
I too was there between 10:00 to 12:00. I agree they seam to be a little disorganized. I did manage to pick up a shinny new bottler, syrup bottles and a few accessories. All in all a good day though.. Look forward to next year, they will most likely have some of the bugs sorted out..
LOL... yep. I came to find out you are not the only one that wears a Cat hat. I now have a new acquaintance from Apple Hill. :lol:Quote:

Rockwood, A liitle off topic but is that car in your avatar a cutless, skylark or...
It's a Canadian 66 chevelle.. 350 small block 450 plus hp, not a stock thing under the hood, th350, olds 373 read end, headers on back are 3" exhaust, front dish brakes. I rescued it from the wrecker some 30 plus years ago.
Drag raced for 6 years, then rebuilt 19 years ago.
It's now showing it's age again, time to do another frame off or sell..
I was just at a new supplier near casselman (near Ottawa) and he has a nice selection. He has a 2x4, 2x6 and a 2x8 on display ready for purchase.
He is a super nice guy, i told him i would pass on his name to the trader. So mention my name if you would. (i was close to buying that 2x6 )
