No, sugaring is now, but that's okay--you can visit in fall and still 
get the syrup and candy.  Though it's fun to go to a sugar shack and 
watch how it's done and eat sugar on snow (pour hot syrup onto clean 
snow; it turns to a kind of taffy consistency . . . yummm!).  I 
haven't done that for a couple years--sounds like a good idea!
