Annual Maple Madness - March©
For those who feel touring just isn't enough
Each year Spring arrives with the promise
of new things to come...again this year something traditional has a wonderful
new twist...
Tap into the fun of
the
Tenth
March Maple Madness,
Inn-to-Inn Maple tour.
Here in the White Mountains of New Hampshire,
we are blessed with one of Mother Nature's wonders...the beautiful sugar
Maples. Throughout summer
their broad shadows shelter hikers and picnickers from the sun, cooling
our mountain air. Of course, the entire world rushes to see them decked
out in their dazzling autumn colors. And during our winters they stand
as sentries over our ski slopes and trails as we enjoy adventures in the
snow. Quietly, in late February and into March, with some variability,
Mother Nature gives them her first kiss of spring and the Maple sap begins
to flow. Yankee wizards then work their magic for six weeks or so, between
the still frigid nights and blustery days to gather that sweet liquid in...
and thru their alchemy, one of New Hampshire's most abundant resources
produces one of New England's most sought-after treats.
On Saturday, March
21, between the hours of 10:30 AM and 5PM, these historic
inns will
offer you the opportunity to experience a self-guided tour of the participating
properties; sampling a wide spectrum of maple treats as you go...from
the "Appealingly" sweet
to "Zestfully" savory.
Their front doors will be open to you, each uniquely decorated entrance
welcoming springtime
into the Mt Washington area.
While in transit, you will be invited to visit
some of our Maple Country Partners©, neighbors who will greet you warmly
and share their North Country
stories, too. You'll be able to visit one or several Sugar Houses, should
you choose, and see how the syrup is made, hear the facts and the folklore
that surround New England's liquid gold.
Join the Maple Madness...stay with
us.
Experience
the quiet time in the mountains. We’re excited to offer multi-night
packages, introducing you to the magic of maple sugaring, and for the
initiated, a chance to
relive some of the simpler pleasures.

TENTH
ANNUAL MAPLE MADNESS - MARCH©
For
those who feel touring just isn’t
enough
A wild and woolly inn-to-inn event held together by maple syrup and wacky fun ... with prizes galore!
For those ticket holders who are a bit more daring, here is an opportunity
to win prizes worth hundreds of dollars, fame throughout the land, and
a chance for some great fun. Go ahead, take the "Hare Raising Quiz" or, better yet, find the pieces to the "Maddening Scavenger Hunt".
Along the trail there will be places, people, and
things to visit, find, retrieve. And for extra points, bring your own
digital, Polaroid, or video camera to document suggested photo
ops.
The participant who accomplishes every
dictate on the Maple Madness - March©, and scores the most points,
will win a bundle of prizes including:
A $200
certificate good toward a two-night stay at any participating Inn,
a supply of maple syrup, and a basket of goodies from our
participating
Inns
and Maple Country Partners©.
All completed Maple Madness - March forms which are entered will be
reviewed by a panel of judges of dubious qualification. Their awarding
of extra
points will be based on originality, creativity, and whimsy. Their
opinions may be meaningless, but will be final (like any governmental
body!).
There is no additional charge to participate
in the Maple Madness - March, but the rewards could be incomprehensible.
Come on give
it a
try. Let
us know if you're interested...we dare ya!
