Maple Tree Tapping Ceremony March 8, 2012

The New Hampshire Maple Producers Association will be hosting Governor and Dr Lynch at the annual Tree Tapping ceremony on March 8, 2012 at 1pm. The event is a ceremonial beginning to the maple season in New Hampshire and will be held this year at Fadden’s Sugar House in North Woodstock. This will be the eighth time that Governor Lynch will be tapping a maple tree for the ceremony. The public is encouraged to join in the celebration.

Fadden’s Sugar House is operated by Jim Fadden, Jr. and his family. Jim is a sixth generation sugar maker. His family has been sugaring the same 120 acres of trees since Thomas Jefferson was president. The sugar house is located in downtown North Woodstock neighboring Fadden’s General Store and Peg’s Restaurant, all operated by the Fadden family.

The ceremony is a celebration of maple industry in New Hampshire and its importance to the state. Maple sugaring contributes $5 million dollars to the state’s economy annually. The sugaring season typically runs from late February to early April. Last year, New Hampshire had a record breaking season with 125,000 gallons of syrup produced being reported. Concerns about the mild winter weather have been raised, but the potential of the season will not be determined until it is over. The lack of snow around the base of the trees can result in the ground warming quickly on warm days which can signal the trees to encourage leaf development. Once leaves grow, the trees will no longer offer sap for collection. The key for optimal sap run is a constant cycle of cold nights and warm days. Nights below freezing followed by warm days in the upper 30’s to low 40’s provide the best results. 

Massage-a-paloosahhh!

We will have our Massage Therapist in the lobby doing Chair Massage every
Tuesday, Friday and Sunday afternoons from 4 - 8pm. The fee is a $1.00 per

On Tuesday we will be again offering the Massage-a-paloosahhh! for

As an added Special this week we will include a Free Mini Foot Treatment

with any other offer.

Contact their  office at 603.941.0429. Reservations are made directly through the Spa and not the resort.

Fireworks and Torchlight Parade at Cannon Mountain on Feb 25, 2012

Cannon Mountain Ski Area will be hosting the last Family Fun Night of the season on Saturday February 25, 2011 from 4:30-6:30pm in the Peabody Base Area.

If you have never been to a torchlight Parade it is pretty cool. There a bunch of skiers who slowly work their way zig zagging down the mountain while holding torches (road flares) which creates a stream of bright light along the way. It is a treat for your eyes.

After the Parade is done they will have a Fireworks Show. The backdrop of Franconia Notch, Mount Lafayette and Cannon Mountain creates a dramatic backdrop for the flashes of brillant color and the echos of the booms from the fireworks. This is a great family event this weekend.
