The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s segments:

Though COVID has put a damper on many favorite spring and summer events, one of my favorites is preparing to rise up again at a new date,.

Traditionally held on the fourth weekend in March, the Maine Maple Weekend has been rescheduled for October 9-11, giving people plenty of time to get tested and prep the pancakes.

Combining virtual and actual elements that are scheduled to include a recipe contest, the events will also be tied in to the North American Maple Tour that is scheduled to take place the following week. Even if you can only make it up for a day, however, the tree-tappers and syrup suppliers will surely be glad to see you, as tourism and food sales have tanked over the summer.

In addition to being delicious, maple products also have many health benefits, including more antioxidants and a lower glycemic index than many other sweeteners, as well as being good for your skin, digestion, and many other vital systems. So while you help our neighbors recover from the Covid crisis, you will also be helping yourself while enjoying a favorite flavor that has made our region famous.
