This will be my first year. How many people usually show up?

Will there be much time for Q&A with the experts?

this will be my first year also,but Dr.Johnson will run the show ............

I'm making plans to attend.  How can we (Darkman, CajunB, bobby) make contact at the event?  I plan on getting in early Friday evening, anyone available for dinner Friday night?

Steve that is great. I'd love dinner Friday night but I do not get off work until midnight Friday. I'm meeting a friend and Bobby around 0300 -0400 and then we are driving in. We'll probably exchange Cell numbers through PM's and figure it out.

Very glad you are going to make it. Not sure of what you may have if any but I was thinking that maybe we could swap or give some Summmer cuttings with each other. I should be able to bring some LSU Gold and Celeste cuttings.

I'll bring some as well. 

Bobby I would like some Loquat seedlings.

Do you know the Blackberry variety?

I can't bring the Calamondin into the State of Florida!

It looks like we will be ending our vacation and driving home on Friday. That should allow me to go the the LSU day on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing some of y'all again and also meeting some new members.

I think lunch afterwards as brackishfigger suggested sounds great.

I am also planning on attending, I just can't miss an oppurtunity like this!  Looking forward to meeting some of you there!

That is great Cajun. Please plan on joining us after the meet. We are hoping to get together at a restaurant across the street from Burden Research Center.

Gene glad to see you will make it. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Anyone else thinking about this you need to try and make it. If you can't start making plans for next year!!!!

Any early birds I will probably get there early and try to at least get acup of coffee near the meet. PM me if you'll get there early and want to join us. I'll leave Pensacola around 0200 Saturday but I can get the PM through Figs4fun website.

Greenfig,  I'd be happy to try it! Thanks, See you at the Fig Festival


  • Sue, care for a little kadota? :) I have some cuttings.

hey Gene,glad to see you will be able to make it.........Gene,have you been to this event before and if so,well us what to exspect.

This will be a first for me also Brian, but looking forward to it. If all works out I'll be meeting darkman at the Waffle House at I-10 and Siegen Lane on the north side of the interstate. I'll try to be there around 7 to 7:30 AM. That will put us around 3 miles from the meeting place.

I'll probably get there around 0630 or so. I'll be waiting there at the Waffle House, 10439 Reiger Rd, Baton Rouge, LA 70809. We are meeting for lunch at Picadilly. It is 1/2 mile past the Burden Research Center on the same  side of the road. Everyone should be able to find something they want to eat there at reasonable prices and the dining room should be able to accomodate us even if everyone shows up.

Hoping everyone can attend! See ya Saturday. 

hey Bobby,yes I could surely use some...........

  I'm planning on being there.  Looking forward to meeting some forum members.

How did the field day turn out? I wish I wasn't at work right now, I would have loved to go. Hopefully next year. Hope y'all had a good time!
