Hi Jay. A swap in the central AR area would be great. Count me in along with my daughter and probably my girlfriend who I know would enjoy! Either Saturaday or Sunday would be fine for us. Let us know what we can bring to help out with the BBQ.

Darlene

Sounds good to me..not that far. Maybe I can talk Beerhog into coming, too. A Sunday would be best for me. I've got a lot of "stuff" I need to find homes for.

HI Jay, i'd love to come if i can. I've said i'd come to 2 others and was in hospital both times. I feel so good i'm sure to make it this time. The 25 & 26 of Sept. have got family reunion. But can make it any other time. Let me know what I can bring. Have Iris and Daylillies i can bring to trade.
thanks, oakleif

Ok, this is looking like there is enough interest, I am in contact with at least four others, so that makes eight, including myself. Let's give it until next weekend and maybe others will see this notice. Perhaps you three might be able to spread the word among some acquaintances either in your network of friends or via GW. Thanks for responding and offering to help. For anyone else, be sure to let me know what date you might prefer, but I will second the motion for a Sunday event.
Jay

Hey Jay.. I will come back home from Indy on coming Saturday. Then please let me know when you will make a final decision with date. I may ask my two girl friends to go with me.. Thank you, Kat

If can carpool would love to come from over by Russellville. Some one email me please. Redhot aka Judy

Jay, I'd love to come if I can get off work. I work on Sunday but am off on Friday and Saturday. I've been taking off quite a bit lately so don't know if I can get off or not. Let me know the date please and I'll try to make it.

Judy, am I on your way there? If so, we can get together and go part of the way together if I get to go.

Nancy

I'm in the area near Fairfield Bay. Anyone needing a ride is more than welcome. My daughter has a van we'll probably use so there will be extra room.

Jay have you decided on a date yet?

Darlene

If Kaye is going and I can take off work (or play sick) or do not have to work, count me in.
Beerhog

I have decided to have the plant swap on Sunday, September 19th, beginning at 12 noon and through the afternoon. Please check my member page for more info.
Thanks for your interest.
Jay
