What a thrill! Tonewood participated in the Taste of Vermont event hosted by Senator Leahy in Washington, DC last month. It was great to share this experience with my son, Theo. You can see by the grins on our faces that we so enjoyed meeting and chatting with Senator Leahy and his lovely wife Marcelle.
From the tour of the White House to touring Capitol Hill....it was something else for this humble Canadian. It turns out Marcelle Leahy's parents are Canadian from Quebec and she is very proud of her Quebecois heritage. The 600 guest feeding frenzy at the Tasting event was a wonderful experience and meeting so many of Senator Leahy's colleagues and friends and spreading some maple love was the tip of the iceberg.
