Dixie Region Convention is Rescheduled:
Third Time's a Charm

It is with regret that we have decided to postpone this year’s convention to June 2022. This has been decided in the interest of keeping everybody safe.
For people who have already registered – your checks will be returned and you will need to also cancel your hotel reservation.
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.
As always, future updates will be posted Dixie Region Convention page and the ETHS Facebook page.

Warm Regards
Fred Anderson
2020-2021-2022 Dixie Hosta Convention Chairman
