About Maplerama 2009...
The Bennington County
Sugarmakers will be hosting Maplerama 2009 on
July 24, 25 and 26, 2009. The event will be held
at Colgate Park in Bennington, Vermont in
conjunction with the First Annual Shires Maple
Festival. Friday afternoon and evening will
feature a trade show and cocktail party;
Saturday will provide a full day of sugar house
tours with a Saturday night banquet. On Sunday
there will be additional tours or technical
sessions and a barbeque. Participants will also
be able to enjoy the food and activities of the
Maple Festival which will run from 10AM to 9PM
on Saturday and 10AM to 5 PM on Sunday (times to
be confirmed).
Lodging will be available in the Bennington area
and we will provide details of points of
interest (museums, shopping and points of
interest) for anyone wishing to do a “companion”
tour rather than the sugarhouse tours. The
Sunday tours and technical sessions will start
late enough to allow participants to attend
early church services.
