This weekend in the Mountain State of West Virginia I know of two Maple Festivals. The first and most famous is The Official West Virginia Maple Festival which is held at Pickens, West Virginia. Pickens is located in the southern end of Randolph. There is one sugarcamp there thats is usually open for tours. Rumor has it that they did not open any trees due to the heavy snow pack. Just rumor I never confirmed that with the owner Mike Ricther.
The second and newest Festival is located in Mineral County at Keyser, WV.
It's official title is The Potomac Highlands Regional Maplefest. I was told and again it maybe rumor that the two people that produce syrup and sell at the festival never tapped a tree this season. I being a nice guy offered to buy table space at the festival. I was told by the person who is in charge of tables that the vendors could get syrup for the festival. That was good news because the last thing we need is customers wanting syrup and not being able to get any.
