Invitation to All Bakers, Artists and Runners for 2018 Fleischmanns’ Maple Festival

Fleischmanns, NY--Although there is a lot of snow on the ground, spring is not so far off when the age old tradition of tapping the maple trees will begin in earnest. Whether done with old fashion metal taps and a metal bucket or the new plastic taps that hook into plastic tubing, the sap will be running and the new maple syrup once known as liquid gold will be ready.
On the Saturday and Sunday March 24th and 25th , Fleischmanns First, for the seventh year,  will  host its Maple Festival to celebrate the new season’s maple syrup production with a weekend full of activities and events inspired by and celebrating the tradition of turning maple sap into maple syrup! 

Everything Maple, a pop up retail store, returns with more maple items including maple cream, last year’s most requested product. 

Maple on Main Art Exhibit, is our art show of maple inspired artwork. The Saturday Artist reception was well attended and several pieces sold. We will continue with the show this year at 1053 Main Street on Saturday and Sunday. Artists are invited to submit works that feature and/or celebrate the maple etc . Please contact Kathleen Green at Kathleeng97@gmail.com for more information. An Artists’ Reception will take place from 4-6pm on March 24th.
