our 7th annual Virginia Gourd Festival Nov. 1 &
2, 2008
|
The Virginia chapter of the American Gourd Society is back for a seventh year of education and fun in its annual marketplace of gourd classes for crafters and gourd products for holiday shopping. Live entertainment, farm fresh foods, and those wacky and creative Virginians and friends. It's a wonderful day in the Shenandoah Valley, just south of Winchester. This year, once again, we will have the live musical talents of hillbilly comedy quartet, Ricochet.
This year
the VLGS Silent Auction of Gourds benefits the Prince George 4-H program
in Prince George, VA. The theme for the Silent Auction this year is Lucky
Seven! Send your donation to the VLGS: P.O. Box 3, Stephens City, VA 22655.
