Place: Bethlehem, Pa
Reservation required, space is limited. Please email me at bassgarden@yahoo.com

Bass,
I'd also love to attend again it will be me and one other person. 

I hear if you're in the market for a home already planted to a lot of fruit trees that Bass will also give tours of his house. :)

Email me please so I can add your email to the list.

Yes my house along with the fruit trees garden and a greenhouse for sale. I don't want to sell to someone who's  gonna cut down the trees.

Count me in.  If there is someone in the "Far North" who wants to go but doesn't want to drive 8 hours, I can meet you at exit 18 on the NYS Thruway and take you from there and back.  I have room for 3.

C.J.

Email has been sent. Hope there is still room.

I just sent you an email to confirm 2 spots.
I can't wait till the 22nd  : )
  

FYI  We have 2 threads going on the same topic they are

" 5th annual Northeast fig gathering " and  " Northeast fig meeting "

Should we pick one so we are all on the same page ?

Hi Bass
Please count me in. Sounds like a great opportunity to meet some forum members who I feel I know, but never met
Coop

I hope there's still one spot available.
Long drive, but sounds like the trip of a lifetime for this lonely figster.
I'll bring the photo equipment.
Lebmark, you know what I'm bringing for you.

Harvey, take a quick flight!

I'll be returning home from a week-long family vacation (a working vacation, helping my father-in-law cut and split 6 cords of firewood in northern Idaho, his only source of heat) just a few days before this get-together, so I'll be loaded up with chores upon my return.  I'll be there in spirit. :)

Shameless BUMP!

Ruuting,

Sent an email. Let me know if I can bring anything!

C.J., thank you for the offer. I'm cutting across at the GWB, I'll be on 95 all the way to the Bronx.
Besides, I'm gonna have a lot of plants in the back of my car :)
If anybody who won't be able to attend wants me to keep an eye out for specific varieties, let me know, I'll bring a list with me.

Bass, I promise I'll leave my pruners at home.

Thank you all for sending me your interest, We have now 28 confirmed guests. 
car pooling is recommended at this point for parking situation.

I would LOVE to make it some day.  A litte far for me.

OK, who is bringing what?  I have a few Gino's if anyone is looking to trade.  Should we all bring a plant or cuttings etc. to do a raffle with like in the past?  If so let everyone know because someone may be unaware of this tradition.

Things are still looking good for me.  What should I bring?

For me the raffle is the best part and the most fun.
I'll be bringing some extra trees and try to take a few cuttings.
Could we do name tags again ?

We should all be bringing in fig plants or cuttings for the raffle. Everyone will have a chance to pick. 
we can do name tags again. 

There's a chance for showers on Sunday, I hope it won't rain until we're done.

I will be bringing a few of my extras. Also hoping for great weather.

My brother Angelo and I will bring some extras plants and maybe some cuttings?
I think pizza is fine,everybody likes pizza.
