Hey Russ, Hunt seeds have been sent. We mailed out a few 1678s, 1156s & one 901. Hopefully they'll help raise a few $$$. The 1678's & 901's are in high demand & the 1156 grew 3 over 1000#. I'll see if we can't find a few others to send. Good luck.

Russ, just received a bubble from Sally for seed donations, and seeds on the way.

In Sally's letter with the bubble she says that its been getting harder and harder every year for them to get seeds donations from other growers.
The donations is for a great cause to help keep down costs for Niagara to be affordable for growers to attend.

So if you have some great seeds your not going to grow, send them Sally's way, it will be of great help Im sure. They really put alot of work into making sure your stay in Niagara is as affordable as possible for all growers, and these seed donations really help that cause out alot.

So if you have some great seeds your not going to grow, or seeds of your own you have grown, lets all help out by donating for this great function they been putting on for the last 12 years.
If you have never been to Niagara before it sure is a great time and I guarantee you you wont be sorry that you went .
