[APWG] The Weed Circus is coming to town - Come see the 99.6% weed-free 14 acres!.

[Wayne Tyson]

Craig,

That would be nice to see, but I suspect that my foot impediment would 
prevent my participation. I may have the opportunity to be in or near that 
area within the next month or so; is there any way to gain access at another 
time?
