TAMWORTH — Ahead of the upcoming N.H. Maple Weekend, March 18 and 19, when almost 200 sugarhouses in the state are open to the public, Gov. Chris Sununu tapped a century-old maple on the grounds of the Remick Farm Museum with students from the Madison Elementary School on Monday.
Third grader Ari Gray stepped up to help the governor place the spile — or tap — into the stately maple in a field with cows overlooking the scene and geese flying overhead, while his parents and others from the school watched along with leaders of state government.
