Kentucky Gourd Society

CALENDAR / EVENTS:

Meeting
Our next meeting will be on Saturday, July 29th at 10AM. We are already thinking about the 2018 Gourd Show! If you have an idea for the theme of next year's show, please submit it along with a logo to us by July 15th, 2017. You can email your theme idea to: kygourdlady@gmail.com, jangourds@bellsouth.net, kygourdnut@gmail.com or kentuckygourd@wildblue.net. We tossed around some good ideas a the last meeting: Gourd Proud; Giddy Up, Giddy Up Gourds; Fleur de Gourd; Gourd Dogs; Double Dozen (our 24th show); and Cinco de Gourdo to name a few. We will decide our 2018 Show Theme winner and begin reviewing / updating our show booklet. It will be held at the Spencer County Extension Office, 100 Oak Tree Way, Taylorsville, KY 40071. All members are encouraged to attend and to bring a brown bag lunch.

2017 Fall Gourd Education Days
The Fall GED will be held Saturday and Sunday, September 30 and October 1 at the Spencer County Extension Office. Our guest artist will be Lisa Ginter. We are excited to have her share new techniques that we can apply to gourds! More information will be posted about her workshops and registering for them in the next couple of weeks, by end of June.

The 2017 KGS Show was held on May 20 & 21. Thanks to all the volunteers, vendors, instructors, students, competitors, staff and visitors that made it such a success. We had fabulous entries from both Adult and Youth competitors. Thanks to Freddie Royalty, our official photographer, for the following photos of the Show.
