The festival up there is a joke anyways. The open houses however is a different story. Not sure about the other companies but as of today cdlusa is still having theirs.

Highland Maple Festival in Virginia cancelled, I've been told the second largest in US, Also in the Eastern Panhandle of WV the Potomac Highland's Maple Trail is cancelled, sadly they had buses scheduled to haul visitors to camps and other events and attractions within a Four County region. Oh well maybe next year? Myself and the neighboring camp still are planning on being open at this point, the lead on the Potomac Highland Maple Trail said that private businesses cannot be told they have to close to the public.

A joke? Franklin County Vermont is arguably the maple capital of the entire US with a significant economic impact to the region. The festival is a celebration of the end of another season and involves many producers, suppliers, and fans of our product. The festival involves hard work by its sponsers and volunteers. It might not be for everyone but certainly isn't a joke. Perhaps people should keep disparaging comments to themselves.
