Wow B13,
Y'all have great events and speakers.

Bakersdozen:
For those attending that will need a hotel, we have added a block of rooms at the Country Inn and Suites in Lawrence, KS. https://www.countryinns.com/lawrence-hotel-ks-66046/usalaka?s_cid=os.amer-us-cis-USALAKA-gmb  This is where our guest speakers will be staying.  Use the code words Beekeepers Funday to get a reduced rate.

We have also added a catered BBQ dinner at the close of the day, 6:30 p.m.  It will be in the central building, Bldg. 21, at the fairgrounds.  The cost is an additional $20 per person.  Our guest speakers will be present for this as well.  It will be a great opportunity to mingle and ask questions.

Bakersdozen:
We are just a few days away from Funday!  If any of you come, please introduce yourself to me.

Bakersdozen:
A tornado touched down last night and tore a path from North Lawrence into Kansas City.  The Red Cross and utility companies are using the fairground for a staging area.  We believe our event will go off as planned.  If there are any changes, I will post here and at www.nekba.org.
