A maple desserts competition was quite popular at Tuesday's official opening of the 2017 sugaring season. Barbara Warren of Randolph won the adult division with her "maple angel food cake." She's pictured here with granddaughter Patience Maville, who encouraged her to enter. The event was judged by NECI students: Kassie Jardine, Jake Medearis, Deron Noel, and Erin Chisolm.
