March 25, 1965
Spring sneaked in Saturday with snow and cold wind, and Sunday morning the temperature dropped to 7 here in town with some reports of below zero. March came in like a lamb so it is supposed to go out like a lion.
The warm air Tuesday brought the frogs out in full chorus.

Maple Syrup Festival
Highland County truly became Virginia’s Switzerland when five inches of snow last Friday night transformed its mountains into a winter wonderland. The storm kept visitors away from Highland’s Maple Festival by the thousands. The first weekend of this activity was ideal weather wise, and approximately 10,000 people made the pilgrimage into the county. The Highland County Chamber of Commerce has scheduled March 27 – 28 as the last weekend of the Seventh Annual Maple Festival.
