A fundraiser dinner for Heritagesocietyaustin.org
Catered by Gina Burchenal and Kristine Kittrell
Photos from the HeritageSocietyAustin.org's November fundraiser:
Left:Chefs Gina Burkenal and Kristine Kittrell (The Movable Feast Supper Club chefs)
Right: the last guest is loath to leave, so she sits on a car hood admiring her after-party self
mirrored in the windshield. She belongs to the neighbors' flock, so I returned her to them...They'd had a raccoon attack during the festivities here. Just shows you, good and bad happen together sometimes. At least she escaped and found a warm perch and finally, back in the hen house, she slept with her sisters and friends....

FREE: The Fifth Annual Chicken Seminar!
The
first two years we held the seminar at the farm, next to the Hen House.
And this was the third year at the Natural Gardener. Over 150
chickinists attended. FREE: The Fifth Annual Chicken Seminar!
Presenter: Carol Ann Sayle
The Natural Gardener nursery (http://www.naturalgardeneraustin.com)�
hosted this year's seminar before the store opened for business. The
Natural Gardener is located at the corner of Old Bee Caves Road and
Travis Cook Road, in Oak Hill (Southwest Austin).
********************************************************************************Chickens not only provide tasty, nutritious eggs, but they are also great pets: interesting, communicative, smart in their own way, and very humorous!
The topics to be covered include: recommended size of flock, breeds of layers and their attributes, starting new chicks, feed sources, hen house design, chicken tractors, predators, roosters, and more!
The event will take place outside near the nursery's beautiful gardens. Bring a lawn chair, water, and a hat. Also, bring your questions (and your answers!) for a stimulating discussion of all things chicken! (Laying chickens, that is!) For beginners and current "chickenists."
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010�� Celebrating the Fourth of July, we were entertained with Bluegrass Music from Christy and the Plowboys!� Check out their website: http://www.christyandtheplowboys.com/start.aspx
