Hostas in the Smokies - Postponed until 2022
|
The third times the charm! Unfortunately, due to the continuing COVID pandemic, slow vaccine roll-out, and based on CDC guidance, in an abundance of caution, we are postponing the Dixie Region Meeting until 2022. Dates are to be determined. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
I know this is disappointing but on the bright side this will give us an opportunity to plan an even more exciting convention next year. Please save the date and stay safe. Stay tuned and carry on! Warm Regards Fred Anderson 2020 Dixie Hosta Convention Chairman East Tennessee Hosta Society |
