We have writers, store owners.. so many people here on DG the issue will be not how to get some speakers but rather how to limit the number!
Volunteers for Conference committee
LOL!!! I see your point!!!
Jeri
Hi Jeri, and I know a very good teacher that just happens to be a Master Gardener:) thats you!!
Jeri, see if you can get some interest going on our midsouth forum and swing em this way.
Debbie
Just a reminder so you know who this is for:
We are more than aware of the great responsibility we have to begin this on the right foot. Many of you have volunteered and will be contacted sooner than later. Costs are foremost in everyone's mind, most especially ours. This would be something we would want to repeat so don't want to do it wrong right out of the gate. Just keep it in mind. Hope for the best. Share your ideas and excitement. You all know it can't be planned by the entire population but we will be depending on you from the get go. This is launch time. Watch out, people, this is lift off!!!

Dg WoodStock featuring the groups :
Plant Zoners with their hit How to Push the Z's
Dirt Digggers and their country song of Only One More Shovelful to Go
and don't miss The Seed Hogs in person ( if they can pull themselves away long from seed gathering )
The Compost Carrolers singing Manuers Magic
Sorry.. Couldn't resist, going back to my wallpaper spot. ; )
oh,hohohohoho... Love it, love it. Keep it up. Maybe you can have a new #1 on the Hit Parade. Must be someone on here who can add the music. Certainly there are others that could fill in the appropriate parts.
Yes, I will be one of the Compost Carrolers for sure.
This is soooo much fun.

That it is - I love the Dave Stock idea... great name and gives me some great ideas for the show!
Yes! Like buying shares in the fun, could be one of them.
Now let's not let our enthusiasm wane. This is just the beginning. Won't it be great to say you were one of the first ever to attend a DG Convention? Still don't have good nomenclature. That sounds too stuffy for DG.

How About "Dave's Gardeners" ?
Thank you, Kitty. That is pretty obvious isn't it? hahaha lol
It's the "convention, expo or conference" part that is not just right.
Hmmmm... "Dave's Gardeners Get-together" ?

The First Annual Dave's Garden Gardener's Get Together Expo! Can't wait!
Dave's Gardeners Family Reunion.
b
How about DavesGarden Worldwide Round Up
The Dave's Garden International Corral!
You know, We should have a contest! for the the name I mean...you all have been awsom with this whole idea. Gathering info... Maybe, a contest like the photo contest...everyone puts a title in and the the one with the most votes is it! ...
Are you still looking for volunteers? I used to be in training & development, and have created and taught many classes for adults - if you need someone to help with organizing materials/sessions, or production of same. (OK, I've also helped coordinate smaller conventions before too - 500 or so size, but that's been a few years.)
We are and will keep you in mind. Can you drop me a dmail and let me know kind of what you ahve done before and what you could do? Thanks Mitch
There is indeed discussion going on regarding a naming contest. Get those thinking caps on. We are so excited that you are excited. On your home forums help us get the word out by telling everyone what is afoot. Lot of people that would be interested if they knew. Not everyone skips around so they won't have any idea that the biggest, bestest event in the whole world is about to happen.
YAY TEAM GO, GO, GO.
Takes every single member of this wonderful world of DG to make this be a reality.
LouC
I still like "Dave Stock"
Lots of different conotations to that Dyson and that makes it all the more fun.
Lets go with "fun" cause it is what we need.
You are sooooo right. Can you imagine a building rocking with the laughter of a huge group of DGers...just close your eyes.
If you can imagine, you can do it!
I took a very long walk through the woods yesterday, encountered many cattle and many downed deer, At this time I am reflective as I would have proffered to meet only cattle.
I can see it - Do the Mamas and the Papas still tour?
Some of them are no longer with us. Cass being the first one I can recall.
Who else could we dream to get?
Glen Frey, of the Eagles, lives on Caddo Lake on the Texas/Louisiana border.
Only natural lake in the entire state of Texas. He is a big environmentalist and naturalist. Shows up at lots places quite unexpected. When we get a date, might contact him. Anyone happen to know Glen Frey personally?
No - but WOW would love to get someone like that...
We could call those breakout sessions you're thinking of "Dave's Raised Beds" ;->
well gee how many country music people live in Texas??????
George Strait????....Neil McCoy???? who else??? and how many wouldn't' be willing to do something in their home state to help those wanting to improve things for growing food and improving the environment???
Just thinking off the top of my head of course LOL
My bf knew Glen Frey when he was starting out many many years ago. Doubt seriously Frey would remember him though.
Anne
Maybe I can get Elvis to come... from Memphis :)
One never knows. This man is a genius and his memory must be sharper than average. Automatic answer to a question not asked is "no".
edited to say: This message was referring to Glen Frey, not Elvis. We cross-posted.

Macy's has Elvis in today's ad. Only $199.00. Moves his face and sings the songs.
See, I told you!!! LOL
