St. Johnsbury welcomed back the Maple Festival after 20 years on the weekend of April 18th. The last time the town held this event was in 1987. Hand made gifts and an assortment of food were sold as vendors lined the streets. Governor Jim Douglas made an appearance to the event that honors our signature agricultural product. Douglas also mentioned how in 1915 Maple Grove Farms was established right in St. J. That farm is now the leading maple syrup company in the world, earning Vermont the title as Maple Capital of the World.
