It is important that you come early if you are going to enter the honey contest, the honey needs to be rebottled, labeled and the table set up. The coveted “First Place,” in the honey contest is almost as popular as the “Smoker King or Queen” contest we have at the summer cookout. There will be many entries and there’s lots of setup. PLEASE come by 6 if you are entering the contest.
The Harvest dinner evening is really not to be missed. Lots and lots of great food and friends. Please bring a dish to share, serving utensil, your own beverage and your appetite for a good time.
