GOOD FELLOWSHIP & GOOD BEEKEEPING
BEE CLASS 2018
We are building a knowledgeable beekeeping community through fellowship, classes, and events.
This 2018 year, because it is a special occasion and we are honoring Chip Taylor we are adding a Farm to Table Dinner at an additional fee. It will be Saturday night after the Funday at the Fairgrounds-here is the tentative menu. It will be catered by Chef Ken Baker from Lawrence Beer Co. They will also make us a Honey Beer and we will serve that and mead. There will be an additional charge for those beverages.
Upon finalization of your PayPal transaction, you should get a PayPal confirmation email. An email is also sent to the Treasurer, which will be used as your registration. If you need to confirm, or have any questions, you may email. We'll respond as soon as possible. Thank you for your support!
