Trees 4 Scouts

The Scouts from Troop 407 do a fundraiser each year at Christmas time.

For those of you in the Milford, NH and Amherst, NH area that don’t have a way to dispose of your tree at the end of the Christmas Season, the Scouts will pick it up for a donation.

You can follow this link to learn more about it. http://www.trees4scouts.net/index.html?fbclid=IwAR1zIW0aQj2t8bqjqmad46QPJzby8x6PRENEsgi7a6BJGAU24Wx33yearHs


Don’t Forget to Decorate the Tree

We have so enjoyed seeing the ornaments going up on the designated tree each year.

These are but a few of the ornaments we have received. The tree we use changes from year to year, so look for it when you come. And bring an ornament. Put your name and the year on it. And we will keep decorating. We are slowly eliminating our own ornaments as we gain more of yours. We look forward to what ornaments show up this year.

This is a 4×12 ft evaporator. The fire is fed every 5-10 minutes and has forced draft fans that make the fire burn hotter.

It produces so much steam. Unless we keep the doors wide open, it fills the room with so much steam that we can’t see each other. It’s like walking around in a cloud.

Checking to see if the syrup is sheeting off the scoop. When it sheets properly it’s ready. James (holding the scoop) is third-generation making syrup.

This is happy. Dave created him to explain the process of tapping to the kids that come by on tours. He’s happy when we have warm days and cold nights.
