HOW TO TAP A
MAPLE TREE

Dave Lelko, Chardon City Manager, is the official tapper of the
maple tree at the 2008 Tappin' Sunday ceremonies
First... he drills the hole...
|

Then he taps in the spile
|

next, he hangs the bucket...
and his work is done!
|
 The scene on the 2008
ceremonial sap bucket was
hand-painted by Hambden resident
Bob Kolcum
THANK YOU, BOB!!
