Hello GVGO Members,
Wow the summer is flying by, it's time to firm up the details of our planned patch tour and BBQ on Saturday August 24, 2024.
First stop is John Butler's patch at approx. 9:00am. See lots of different things including pumpkins, squash, tall corn, sunflowers and more.
2nd Stop is Fred Hain's beautiful garden around 10:30am
3rd stop is Russ Landry's small but mighty patch. I hear he has lots crammed into a small space.
4th stop is at the Watson residence in Komoka. I can't promise massive pumpkins but the food should be good!
See attachment for more details.
Please rsvp at least a week ahead of time so we can plan the correct amount of food. I'm thinking hamburgers, pan fried pickerel, bass and perch and bbq corn on the cob. We have a great sweet corn stand just down the road! This is a pot luck so attendees are asked to bring a small side dish or desert.
Please note club members are more than welcome to bring guests to this event! We encourage this and look forward to seeing lots of people. Please note guests are asked to pay a $10 fee in order to help the club offset the costs of food and beverages. Members don't pay as this is part of your annual membership benefits.
Kind Regards,
Patrick (Pat) Watson
