KNGA Spring Meeting Program Saturday, April 27 Hardin County Extension Office 201 Peterson Dr. Elizabethtown, KY 42701 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
9:30 am-2:00 pm
KNGA Nut Display. One of the main attractions at our meeting is the nut display. These exhibits afford our members the opportunity to see and examine first-hand the fine nuts that are grown in Kentucky and adjoining states.
KNGA Swap-Shop and Scionwood Exchange. These spring meetings offer a great opportunity to obtain scarce scionwood for nut tree cultivars and other plant material. Please bring a good supply of scionwood from your best producing pecans, hickories, black walnuts, Persian walnuts, persimmons, pawpaws, and various fruit cultivars. Please bring plastic bags or moisture proof wrappings, rubber bands, and labels for the scionwood. Please take care to label everything carefully for distribution at the meetings to avoid scionwood mix ups.
9:45 am. KNGA Board of Directors Meeting. If members have items to discuss or proposals to make, this is the time to present them. The fall KNGA meeting site will be determined.
10:45 am. General Business Meeting, NNGA meeting review, and other Announcements
12 Noon. Potluck Luncheon. If you bring something that will need to be heated or warmed, there is a well-equipped kitchen that can be used for that purpose.
12:30 pm. The KNGA Annual Spring Auction Sale. In order to make the traditional spring sale the best ever, we request members bring items from their orchards, yards, farms or nurseries that they wish to donate for this occasion. Almost any items are appropriate - seeds, plants, nuts of any kind, and especially grafted fruit and nut trees. Please label the items that you donate to auction. Your donations are greatly appreciated by the KNGA. Many members, nurserymen and others donate plant material and other items for door prizes.
