Dear Rebecca, Thanks so much for the account of your trip! It sounds like you and Kevin had a great time overall. David and I are actually free the weekend of April 19th, which should be the of the festival. Your suggestion about going to Fulton's first is really . I'd hate to wait in the cold like you two did! I'm also curious about the market. You mentioned the syrup was quite , but I think I'll budget around $40 for some candies and a jar of maple butter. I know my sister loves it just as much as , so it would make a great gift for her too. I'll call you for directions soon! Natalie
