The Hill family at Shaver-Hill Maple Farm in Harpersfield, passed out a small token of their
appreciation last Sunday to Assemblyman Chris Tague, Senator Peter Oberacker and New York State
Agriculture Commissioner Richard Ball. The maple leaves and shirts represent their thanks for the
support the three men who continue support the maple industry. The maple leaves are engraved with
Friends of Shaver-Hill Maple and were presented during the first of two Maple Weekends taking place
in the state to celebrate the maple industry. Pictured, from left, are Diedre Hill, Tague, Oberacker,
Dwayne and Marylee Hill, Ball, Dave Hill and Damian Hill. The presentation followed a tapping
demonstration in which all three men participated.
Thanks for Your Support
