Governor Mills, Maine Maple Producers Tap Blaine House Maple Tree Ahead of 40th Maine Maple Sunday Weekend

Statement

Governor Janet Mills and Maine Maple Producers Association President Lyle Merrifield today tapped the Blaine House Maple Tree ahead of the 40th annual Maine Maple Sunday Weekend later this month.

The annual tradition sets the stage for Maine Maple Sunday Weekend and is an opportunity to promote an industry that is estimated to generate $55.6 million in economy activity and support more than 800 full- and part-time jobs across the state.

Maine's Maple Sunday Weekend is March 25-26, 2023, at Maine Maple Producers Association sugar shacks around the state.

"Maine Maple Sunday Weekend is an opportunity for us all to celebrate the world class products -- and people -- that make Maine unique. Our iconic maple syrup industry supports thousands of jobs, strengthens our economy, and sets us apart nationwide," said Governor Janet Mills. "I encourage all Maine to celebrate our hardworking Maple producers by joining me in visiting one of our extraordinary sugarhouses at farms across the state during Maine Maple Sunday Weekend later this month."
