We've been there a few times, but last year's show will be hard to top.
They have what it takes, organization, participation and a good location!
Check out the Indiana Gourd Society for more information.

I know they have classes and they will be somewhat different each year. You can find lots of information by simply doing a google search for gourds. welcome to gourding.

Thank you Jan for replying.

I am wondering what kind of classes they will be having ... how long they last ... what we need to bring along etc.

Off to look at the website!

Cheers from Michigan zone 5

Hope you found what you needed on the web site. I just got my schedule for the Indiana show this weekend. They have about 50 classes planned and they look like fun.
Some furnish all supplies, some just need you to bring scissors or small stuff like that.

Looks like another great show in the making.

Gardenkiwi -

Jan is right - its really a wonderful show. I go each year and just love it.... so much talent...so many ideas. You enjoy it!

Finally!

I had to buy a new computer that had different, updated search engines because iVillage changed things around and I could no longer get into GardenWeb. grrrrr.

Anyhow! I did not manage to get to Kokomo for this years gourd show - darn it all. I heard there is a show in November in Goshen IN and I am wondering about workshops etc there. Is anyone going? Do you know about workshops etc?

I sure plan on being there if I can ... have the dates open on the calendar!

Cheers - Rita in Kalamazoo MI
