Help us help you promote your business during Adirondack Maple Weekend. During Adirondack Maple Weekend, April 2 and 3, we’ll highlight local business promotions and restaurants specials and menus, as well as listing the local maple producers’ hours for tours and events. Any retailers or restaurants interested in being featured with maple-related promotions should email ROOST Events Manager Sue Cameron before March 21 to be included in promotional materials. Adirondack Maple Weekend is part of New York State Maple Weekends, which will be celebrated March 19-20 and April 2-3 this year. Tastes of Maple Organizers of the third annual Tastes of Maple event are looking for local restaurants to highlight this year on April 2 at the Conference Center at Lake Placid. They’re looking for local restaurants to participate with samples of culinary items prepared with locally produced maple products, plus beer and spirits tastings. Attendance at last year’s event grew by about 20 percent over the first year, so it’s a great opportunity to connect directly with potential diners and shoppers.

The event will include live entertainment as well as maple tastings in which the attending public tastes and votes for their favorite maple syrup. It runs 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, April 2.
