| New
England is famous for fall's bright orange & reds from our Maple trees and for
spring's maple tapping to make maple syrup. Spring brings those warmer days and
cold nights to help the sugaring maples provide Maple Sugar Houses with the sap
to make into our wonderful New England Maple Syrup. Join us to enjoy one of Mother
Nature's finest treats first hand! Bed
& Breakfasts Inn Mount Washington Valley, the White Mountains of New Hampshire
will host the sixth annual MARCH MAPLE MADNESS… not just another inn tour.
These historic inns will offer you the opportunity to experience
a self-guided tour of the member properties. In addition to the tour of participating
inns, ticket holders will sample maple treats both savory and sweet and have the
opportunity to participate in the judging of each inn's decorations. As
you continue your drive you can learn about "sugaring" at maple sugar houses and
visit participating shops, "Maple Country Partners" along the way. However, the
truly adventurous at heart may opt to do the Maple Madness March… a cross between
a scavenger or rather "sapenger" hunt, and game show. The
Maple Madness March offers the more daring participants the opportunity to gather
points toward winning prizes as they travel through the Valley. Along the way
you must seek answers to questions, gather objects, and artifacts as well as visit
each participating Inn and Maple Country Partner. Bring along your digital camera
for bonus photo ops!
The ticket holder who accomplishes every dictate on the
Maple Madness March and scores the most points will win a
$200 gift certificate good toward a two night stay at any participating
Inn, and other goodies provided by the Inns and Maple Country Partners.
| The
complete Maple Madness March contest forms will be reviewed by a panel of
judges of dubious qualifications. Their opinion is meaningless but final. |
| Ticket
holders who choose to simply enjoy the spectacular country side in early spring,
tour historic inns, sample maple treats, appreciate seasonal decorations, and
return home with a collection of maple recipes and fond memories without deciphering
questionable quips may do so by following directions in our map. The
March will stretch around the Mt. Washington Valley with inns opening their doors
to maple lovers everywhere. Tap into the fun of the annual March Maple Madness,
Inn to Inn Maple Tour. |
