When: November 30 & December 1, 2013

Where:   The Williams Farm. See Web Site for directions if you are new.

Field Conditions: The farm should be ready to go. I was at the field on Saturday afternoon and Kip had all the beans removed except the Northwest corner. He is expected to have that last area removed before the weekend.

Set Up:   We need Volunteers!  Please be at the field at 9:30am.

Launch Start:   As soon as set-up is complete.

Launch ends:   Approximately around 4:00 PM so we have some light to close up.      

Remember that this is a working farm, so dress accordingly, sturdy shoes and suggest you dress in layers so you can take layers off and on as the temperature changes.
