Upcoming Events

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 11, 12 & 13 - 10 AM to 5 PM each day - the Locust Grove Gardener's Fair and Silent Auction.  This event features many vendors and offers the chance to purchase flowers, herbs, and plants - along with a variety of garden tools, artistic and practical garden accessories, wrought iron sculptures, water gardens, yard furniture and a host of other delightful finds you may not be able to live without! 

On May 19th & 20th, the Kentucky Gourd Society will hold their 18th annual Gourd Art Show at the Spencer County Elementary School at 1265 mt. Washington Road, KY Hwy 44, west of Taylorsville.  It is absolutely AMAZING what you can do with gourds!!  For more information, you may visit their website at http://www.kygourdsociety.org/.

On the first weekend in June, the Arts Association of Oldham County will offer "Arts on the Green", an annual world-class festival.  Visitors can meet and purchase from the best artisans in the region.   I will offer more information about this event in the future, but you may learn more by visiting their website - maryklausing@bellsouth.net - but mark your calendar now to reserve the dates.

OF COURSE - our next event is the Annual Garden and Art Fair on Saturday, April 28th.  We will be transporting plants from the Extension Office on Friday, starting about 5 PM.  If you have a van or truck, and can help us with this project, please come to the Extension Office at 5PM.   We will begin setting up at the fairgrounds Friday evening and be back there by 7 to 7:30 AM on Saturday.      The weather looks pretty "iffy", so I have obtained permission to use Floral Hall again if we need to.
