We had a bunch of friends and family come by for the 1st day of Maple Weekend at Lavoie's Sugar Shack and had a ball! Made some maple mustard and had it on some hotdogs, and to dip pretzels in. We had enough sap to boil until just about when the last of our guests were leaving. Looks like we didn't get a lot of sap today, but we'll see what the bags look like tomorrow. Thanks for all the setup and great equipment you make Lee... it makes boiling and bottling much easier and faster.
