2023 Maple Raffle
With more than 30 items, each valued at $100 or more, the Middletown Springs Historical Society (MSHS) is kicking off its 2023 Maple Festival Raffle! The grand raffle item is a choice between a gift certificate for 100 gallons of heating oil from Johnson Energy or the cash equivalent, around $400. Other raffle items include original works by local artists and craftspersons, gift cards from local and regional stores and restaurants, and several gift baskets. Participants can enter their tickets for individual item raffles, increasing their chances of getting what they want. Raffle tickets are $25 each or five tickets for $100. Tickets and payments must be returned by mail, postmarked by March 15. The raffle drawings will be held during the Maple Festival on Sunday, March 19. Winners will be notified to arrange for pickup or shipping.
2023 Maple Festival
After a two-year COVID hiatus, the Society plans to bring back its onsite, in person Maple Festival fundraiser on Sunday, March 19. For over 30 years, the Middletown Springs Historical Society has offered this popular, family-friendly community event. The 2023 Maple Festival will feature a maple sugaring demonstration, maple vendors, exhibits and talks on the history of maple sugaring, music, and of course, home-made lunch selections and maple desserts. All proceeds from the Maple Festival and Maple Raffle will support MSHS educational and historic preservation projects including the Mineral Springs Park, the MSHS museum, and the historic Adams House.
