This and That

Michigan Gourd Society, along with the Michigan Herb group,  had a good time up at Meijer Gardens in September.  Some of our members had worked on musical gourds so there was definitely a MUSICAL GOURD theme going on.  One table was featured for just the instruments and people coming thru were amazed at the different instruments but they had a great time as they were able to handle any and all of those gourds!  The big hit of the day had to have been the Thunder Gourds as they were booming constantly. At one stage there was a huge storm that blew in and people were "blaming" the rainsticks and Thunder Gourds for causing that!  Outdoors (when it wasn't storming!) there were setups for carving, drilling, cleaning etc and there were demonstrations of the different techniques going on indoors thruout the weekend.  Once again the Kids Make & Take table was busy - constantly!  They made necklaces, brooches and anything they could think of using beads, dyed gourd seeds and feathers.  Thanks to all who donated items and shards for this very special part of the weekend!  Imaginations ran wild and the art work was delightful ... the young kids as well as the old ones went away with their beautiful projects and big smiles! 
THANK YOU to all who participated - our Volunteers were LuAnn Alexander-Jackson patch director, Tammy Goll-Braunscheidel, Pres. Bobbie Lee-VP, Charlie and Jan Rogers-Tres/Membership Chair, Sharon Berg-Sec, Chuck and Rita Heller-Web Master, Dixie Rosendall-new Rockford patch director, Joann Peltz-outgoing Rockford patch director, Lois Vissia, Dee Jones, Lisa Wierenga, Kathy Priest, and Sandy-family member of Sharon/non MGS member.   Sharon, please pass on a big THANK YOU to Sandy for helping out!
Check out some of the photos that were taken during the weekend and plan to join us next year.  Check the EVENTS page for dates.
