OK folks, I am putting this out there to gauge interest.
I would like to host a get together for the membership here.
Nothing too big, just a chance to get together and share what we have. I am looking at Sept 18, 2010 in Paoli IN, and Pekin of course. Alan and I live about 40 minutes apart. We'll take care of the meal, won't be anything fancy, just our usual family party kind of stuff, pork loin, creek bank potatoes, etc. Alan has turkeys, and we have rabbits we can try on the grill too. I'm thinking having the meal at our house noonish, then maybe head to Alan's for a tour. For people who can stay overnight, on Sunday there could be a fishing trip to Patoka Lake, &/or caving at Marengo Cave. 9 miles from Paoli is French Lick, with an indoor waterpark, indoor go karting, and West Baden Springs Hotel, which is really nice to see at least once.
I know it is a long drive for just about everyone and that many would not be able to attend. My hope is that maybe every other year or so, someone from a different part of the country could play 'host' to a gathering.
I have a lot of plants that I need to divide this year, so I will be potting up divisions, and propagating things for this. I love to propagate, but I hate selling and would rather give them away. I should also have plenty of redworms to give away too so that people can start their own wormbins.
Paoli is located about 2 hours south of Indianapolis, and about an hour north of Louisville KY. Basically in the middle of nowhere.
So, anyone interested?
Here are a couple of links to area things to do
