Maple syrup season begins as warmer days and freezing nights cause the sap to flow. Visit local sugar houses March 29-30 during New York State's annual Maple Weekend, a state-wide open house promoting maple syrup producers.  Watch the sap as it boils, sample maple candy, savor warm syrup on cool ice cream sundaes, or hop on a wagon for a ride through the sugar bush.
For a list of local participants and activities, visit www.mapleweekend.com.
The 2007-2008 New York State Winter Festival continues through mid-March.
