Cajun Fig Fest, Jstall, Noss, and I are putting together the first F4F Cajun Fig Fest in Lafayette La. on Oct. 6, 2012 for our fig loving friends here on the forum. We are looking for a show of hands to see approximately how many will attend. We want you to bring along your spouses and any friends that might be interested. The plans call a pot luck lunch where everyone brings a covered dish. There will be a couple of keynote speakers, one from LSU, some nurserymen, some with orchards and just folks like you and I who love figs and to talk about them. We are encouraging you to bring fig trees or cuttings to sell, trade or give away or just plain show off, and also any fig products like jams, preserves, cookies for sale or tasting. We haven’t put the final touches on the day yet, but I just wanted to get y’all thinking about it. Also any and all suggestions will be taken into account as this is a first event for us. So please post in this thread, by email to Noss @ (menoceros@yahoo.com) or Private Message your intent to come join us. Noss will act as our registrar.
We will be posting directions and complete information for the day soon. We are looking to pass a good time and “Laissez le bon temps rouler”. “gene”
