Some of the pictures from the Lake Erie Maple Expo 2025. Really a great time with tons of great classes, workshops, demos, and maple production vendors to chat with about the latest in the maple industry. Students also competed in the PA Maple Career Development Events (Contest). We had about 7 schools that sent kids to LEME. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Special thanks to Lloyd Munsee, Mike Lynch, Gary Bilek, Daryl Sheets & Les Ober for helping pull of everything. Also the NY Maple Producers for helping with advertising.
