The field day is next Saturday. For those of you in driving distance of the Deerfield MA this is a nice event to attend. They do some great presentations and they have had a great turnout each time I attended. Perhaps good chance to catch up with a familiar face from Beemaster forums or one of several beekeeping facebook groups from that vicinity. :)

Did we mention this is a no charge event? Pack a lunch and spend the day! :)

Plans are in place to head to Massachussets tomorrow afternoon. Looks like the weather is going to be warm but otherwise awesome!! I know Jim 134 ,Reinbeau and Woodchopper will be there. How about any other Nor"Easters? :)
I know there must be more with the attendance this event gets.

Well we made it back home from the venture to the field day. I only wish I could have stayed a while longer after the final events. It turned out to be a beautiful day. It was a bit warm,but bright and sunny and a breeze blowing most of the afternoon. They put on a great educatioanl experience for those who chose to come(which was a bunch). I am told there were 150 pre registered and about 100 walk ins. Thanks to those that put on this free event every year, and thanks to those that come to show their appreciation for such things.
Did I understand the speaker from U MAss they move the event from the Ag research to another more favorable area department of agronomy?
