Linda,   As you know, Hilda has been kind enough to take care of arrangements
at HH for our Winter Pot Luck (Feb) for several years now. It has been a
favored meeting place for Region 7 and had been closed for a couple of years
due
to TN closing state parks.  We, Kentuckians, look forward to a trip south at
this time as the temperature is always a bit warmer and the grass a bit
greener!
 I believe it is probably the most centrally located, after Bowling Green!
Well, if you don't count Nashville itself or Lewisburg.  ;-)

This is especially true for spring meetings due to the garden tour that is
usually a part of the weekend. I am currently trying to encourage fall bloom
in
the seedling beds at Jim's place and here for this fall (Sept 19 & 20).  I'm
thinking more in terms of cut stalks rather than TOUR.  As you know, fall
bloom
date is far from being a clearly defined time/date. Region 7 fall meeting is
usually the 3rd weekend in Sept.  Often just a week short of good rebloom in
this area.  Good rebloom being identified as several cultivars with bloom.  So
far Mother Nature is contributing with good rainfall.

I just don't know that people consider this as important in Fall meetings.
