Spring has sprung, and so has the Green Mountain State’s famous liquid gold. St. Albans’ annual celebration of all things maple arrives this weekend with a bevy of tasty treats and mouthwatering merriment. Festivalgoers enjoy three days of live music, sugary samples, and all the creemees and cotton candy their stomachs can hold. Home cooks compete to make the state’s best maple pies, cakes, pickles and breads. A sugar high could lend an advantage in the 42nd annual Sap Run. And kids (or the young at heart) ooh and aah at fire breathers, jugglers and a delightful dog show in Taylor Park.
