I received a letter from a fellow member many months
ago after my submission to Pomona appeared in print. 
He informed me of a local apple festival.  It will be
held in Lincoln, AR this Friday through Sunday.  I am
planning to go out there this Saturday.  

I am hoping to get a small number of many locally
grown antique varieties of apples.  I am not that
interested in new breeding program apples.  I hope
these well known apples will be available.  If not, I
will be a little disappointed.  

Now I suspect that some of you here might actually
have orchards that will be participating in this or
there are some of you that are enthusiasts like me.  

If so, I am interested in gathering a few apples of as
many varieties as possible that will grow around here.
 I am also interested in Pears.  I am definately not
interested in the aesthetic beauty of the fruit.  

Contact me and maybe we can meet up.  I plan to bring
my 4 yo daughter with me as well.

Todd
