I hope everyone comes! It seems that the highlight will be a nature walk in the woods. Of course there will be tables full of plants and tables full of food. Most of all lots of DG'ers and their families and friends.
Final date decided: June 8th

I would come if you would make it in a different month, like May. I have relatives up that way I always really need to stop and see.

I might be able to come, depending on the schedule.

Garland, TX(Zone 8a)

Me too!

west Houston, TX(Zone 9a)

Early June might be better, give us a chance to get more started after the April dates.
=)

Josephine, Arlington, TX(Zone 8a)

I think so too.

Garland, TX(Zone 8a)

I think early to mid-June would be a perfect time. I have things that don't root well this time of year, or later in the summer. That would give us time to get things started from new growth in April, and still have time to get them well-rooted before it gets REALLY hot.

Buffalo, TX(Zone 8b)

Great! June is one of the best months for starting cuttings. I see lots of cuttings being swapped!

I will post a trade thread after the April RU's are over.

Charlene

Buffalo, TX(Zone 8b)

I'll set the date for June 14th tentatively, just to make sure not too many people have schedule conflicts.

We're butchering a steer in April, so we'll have smoked brisket. I'll post a food thread as we get closer.

Charlene

west Houston, TX(Zone 9a)

not that it will affect me, but June 15th is fathers day. It might change other people's plans--maybe the weekend before or after?

Buffalo, TX(Zone 8b)

Let's see how many would prefer the 7th of June.

Charlene

Garland, TX(Zone 8a)

Sounds good to me!

Waxahachie, TX(Zone 8a)

As a father, a swap would be the perfect gift for Father's Day, but the 7th is good, too.

Rowlett, TX(Zone 8a)

If there's brisket, I'm there!! :-)

Carla

mm let's see Palestine is what 45 min away from smith county? not sure how far buffalo is maybe an hour or so? I have no idea without looking it up but sounds like a plan to me and school will be close to out so as long as I have no field trips on the weekend I should be okay........(ooooooooooooo reminded me I need to make sure they knwo I am not available for any trips the 19th of April too.)

Not sure what I will have plant wise but will come up with something to bring along

Waxahachie, TX(Zone 8a)

BUMP!

Nevada, TX(Zone 8a)

Thanks for the bump Bronc. I think either date is OK with me.

Big Sandy, TX(Zone 8a)

We have so much going on now but by June I should be free, count me in.

Buffalo, TX(Zone 8b)

I have made a reservation for June 8th. It is kind of expensive, but it is air conditioned (which we will appreciate in June), it has a kitchen, dining room, gymnasium, bathroom and plenty of tables and chairs. It also has lots of outdoor space with plenty of parking.

The building was originally a small rural school.

Whadya think folks? It is on a Sunday as I couldn't get it on Saturday unless I went with Father's day weekend.

Charlene

Josephine, Arlington, TX(Zone 8a)

How expensive is it Charlene? I sounds nice, but is it affordable?

Houston, TX(Zone 9a)

I'll see what that weekend looks like. Sounds fun Charlene! Will let you know.

Buffalo, TX(Zone 8b)

The rental is $100. for the day on the building. Not too much if several people attend.
Charlene

Waxahachie, TX(Zone 8a)

Not too much at all! If only 20 folks come that's $5 per person.

Magnolia, TX(Zone 8b)

Count my crooked nose!
:~)

Nevada, TX(Zone 8a)

June 8th looks good for me.

Buffalo, TX(Zone 8b)

I'll wait 'til May 1st to start a trade thread. I'm getting excited. I'll see the paper will write an article and maybe get some local people interested in DG.

I will start the food thread later also. I will bring a brisket for sure.

There is no alcohol alllowed at this location, so I'll be bringing plenty of sweetened and unsweetened tea.

Charlene

Josephine, Arlington, TX(Zone 8a)

Charlene, 100 is a very good price for all those amenities, I still don't know if I can attend, but it sounds great.
Josephine.

Buffalo, TX(Zone 8b)

Well I just found out that the 7th is taken.

We can have the Saturday before father's day (14th) or on Sunday the 8th. The sweet little old lady making reservations forgot about a standing reservation for a family reunion on that Saturday.

I need a vote pretty quickly so I can be certain of getting the reservation correct. I intend to peer into the little ladies calendar book to be certain when I go pay the reservation fee, so I can be sure she didn't forget anything else. LOL Rural life ain't it sweet? Gotta luv it!

Charlene

Buffalo, TX(Zone 8b)

When you are coming this way in June, about the only thing on the road on a Saturday is maybe a deer or coon or possum, or maybe a squirrel.

Now on Sunday, everyone who isn't a pure-dee sinner is on the road to church. LOL

So the vote is whether we are on the road with the sinners or the animals. LOL

Waxahachie, TX(Zone 8a)

Sinner here! I vote for the 8th, but can do either.

Seguin, TX(Zone 8b)

I vote for the 8th as well....the other weekend I will be spending with my family. But I would love to come!

:) Kim

Garland, TX(Zone 8a)

If I can make it at all, either date would be fine.

Buffalo, TX(Zone 8b)

Okay, it is definetly going to be on the 8th. I made our reservation definite. We can have it all day, but I think 10:00 until? is great.

Charlene

Dallas, TX

ME TOO!

Buffalo isn't as far from me as I thought. I hope to make this one!

Buffalo, TX(Zone 8b)

Yippeee! Glad you can come cocoa!
Charlene

Houston, TX(Zone 9a)

I'll be there, Charlene!
Nancy

Fort Worth, TX(Zone 8a)

Not sure what I will be doing or where you live exactly, but since I retire the 1st of June; count me in!!!!
