    Default Covid-19 Coronavirus and maple weekend...

    So with it so up front in everyone's faces this isn't a debate or anything like that and don't want it to turn into that but if it does I will remove it.

    Just want to get those participating in Maple weekend's insight.

    As of right now we are planning to be open of course. As far as I know just one case in NH I don't really know about the surrounding states yet. I am assuming the numbers might be a little lower due to the Virus. might plan to have a little less inventory for value added items.

    Thoughts?

    Honestly it's a bunch of no nothing's nobodies overreacting. Just like the flu, I never get flu shot, i had flu this year- so what.....it happens welcome to living.... that won't make me go get a flu shot because they don't work anyhow, it's never a good match to the strain and your filling your body full of heavy metals they use for the preservatives. ***News flash folks** heavy metals never exit your body they are aquired over time your whole life, then when you get 60+ wonder why your having issue after issue!! It amazes me how unconcious people are these days. Anything to create a job and government revenue- every service and product sold creates revenue for our retarded government to waste and they absolutely LOVE IT!!! Go buy buy buy and feed into the rhetoric but some of us will never lose our concious

    So going back to what you were asking no it shouldn't make a difference at all and if it does those are the people I wouldn't want to be around or even sell my syrup to anyway- unconcious idiots that don't deserve something as good as maple syrup and probably support the Democratic liberal social welfare agenda who vowed to remove our president from office....they should all be bannished from our country and or executed for 1. Blowing OUR money without OUR approval while not doing their real iob because they can and 2. Disobedience to our constitution and president.

    That's my opinion....
    Wow, nice job man. Way to respect the OP's wishes.

    Bliss, a lot said in a short time. These post should be non political but dang it man, I agree completely with you, we could get together and hash over all kinds of crap. Back to the post, I also wouldn't give that virus a second thought as far as maple weekend is concerned.
