• LIFE ON THE FARM will start up again during the last two weeks of October. We will probably work with three schools each week. Let Charlie know right away if you can help so he can put you on the schedule.
• The date for HERITAGE DAY at Indigo Farm is October 7. We will be doing a plant clinic that day and help publicize the Extension. As per usual, Charlie is looking for volunteers for this event – he needs about 3 people for the morning shift, including setting up the tents and the same number in the afternoon to take down the tents when it’s over. This counts as Hot Line time! Call Charlie if you’re able to participate.
• We will be continuing with the rain lily project, going back out to collect more bulbs once the grass dies back. David will be looking for help with this so be sure to let him know if you are interested.
• The North Carolina State Fair is Oct. 13 – 22. If you have any plants, produce, etc. that you want to submit, let David know. His deadline is October 10!
• The County Fair for Brunswick, Pender and New Hanover counties will follow the State Fair. We will be setting up an educational booth – need someone from October 24 through Nov. 5. Again let David know if you can volunteer some time.
• Our next PLANT SALE is scheduled for October 12, 13 and 14. Call Charlie if you can help out. Ash needs some additional help, too, preparing the plants.
