Field Day 2021
President's Message
June 2021
Hope everyone is having a great summer and your bees are packing the honey away for Fair this year.
LCBA had a great Field Day with lots of people, food and classes. I already have some ideas for next year.
We will not have a typical indoor class this month due to just having a great Field Day event this past Saturday, but never fear, Gene and Randy have plans for the Memorial Bee Yard so do plan on being there at 6:15. So bring your dinner, a soft drink and sit at our newly painted picnic tables and enjoy the fun, and whatever you do, make plans for the End of Summer Classic on 9/11 at the Lorain County Fair Grounds.
The Great Lorain County Fair is also a go this year so start bottling some honey to sell
and show.
