The Maine Maple Producers Association (MMPA) and its members issued a statement about Maine Maple Sunday Weekend events scheduled for March 21 and 22.

“As COVID-19 continues to spread and based on the recommendations from the CDC and local government officials, the Maine Maple Producers Association has announced that all Maine Maple Sunday Weekend events should be postponed. This was a very difficult decision and will significantly impact all members across the state, but as an association we feel this is the right thing to do for public health. We plan to host Maine Maple Sunday Weekend when the timing is right. In the meantime, we encourage you to support your local maple producers in other ways during the maple season. You can find updates on a future event date and a member directory with phone numbers and websites to order products from your local Maine maple producers at mainemapleproducers.com,” said Scott Dunn, president of the MMPA.
