The time for our meeting this Saturday, July 29th, has been changed. We will meet at 1:30PM at the Spencer County Extension Office, (It had been scheduled for 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.
