March 20: Maple sugaring open house at Sunset View Farm
Pre-pandemic, this was the time of year when sugar shanties across the state opened their doors to allow the public to see first hand how sap becomes maple syrup. But for the second consecutive year, the New York State Maple Producers Association, organizers of the statewide Maple Weekends, has canceled the event.
âOur Board of Directors has been actively monitoring all official information concerning the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on our ability to safely conduct public events like Maple Weekend,â Executive Director Helen Thomas wrote in a statement issued by the association. âWe recognize our obligation to public safety for any event that we officially promote and sponsor across all of our regions. Therefore, the board has unanimously decided to cancel the statewide official Maple Weekend for 2021.â
