The Enterprise — Michael Koff

Sappy, the mascot of the Maple Festival greets runners to kick off the two-weekend festivities. Free tours of local sugar bushes show visitors how maple syrup is made. Next weekend, the Kiwanis host a pancake breakfast at the Knox firehouse. Here, Brian Kearns of Fultonville stands near Sappy before the start of the race; Kearns finished in 10th place with a time of 23:13.
