Frank, a member of The Maple Society, stopped by the OAN Farwest Show booth to let us know about the 2012 Maple Society Conference. It will take place Oct. 19–21 in Seattle, with a post-tour taking place in Oregon Oct. 22–24. Early registration (which saves you $25) is due by Sept. 15, which is not too far off in the future, so be sure to keep this one on your radar. Complete information on the event is available at www.maplesociety.org, and Frank left a big stack of fliers in our booth if you want to go the low-tech route. If you have any questions, contact Marielle Eykeman at [email protected].
