Maple sugarhouses across the North Country are offering pancake breakfasts, open houses, and exclusive deals during this year's Maple Weekend event, creating cherished memories for visitors. Regulars like Victor Presti, a Bechard's Sugar House attendee for over 10 years, praise the event's atmosphere and favorite products like dark maple syrup and maple cream. Local resident Richard Stonier enjoys the event's open houses, where he can learn about the maple syrup-making process and score deals on hard-to-find syrups, especially the Very Dark Maple Syrup. Bechard's Sugar House has already welcomed over 1,000 visitors in the first two weekends, with staff ensuring a smooth and engaging experience. Organized by the New York State Maple Producers' Association, Maple Weekend provides a unique opportunity to explore the region's rich maple traditions.
