12pm is probably a good time as it gives us 2.5hours to walk around after the park opens and is an hour before the first lectures start.
anyone have a good place for us to meet.
who will be there on saturday at 12?

Y'all could meet near where people exit from the tasting table area.     Or there is shade on the covered "porch" outside the big room where all of the mangoes are exhibited.

If everyone wears shorts and athletic shoes it should be easy to recognize each other

 Will anyone be coming to the Mango Festival from the Merritt Island area?      I would be very grateful if someone could bring me a bag of mangos from Merritt == those interesting sounding ones that are only found there.      I know that would be a pain in the behind, but I would be happy to pay handsomely, as it would save me a long trip on Sunday. (Actually, I don't even know if the fruit stand(s) are open on Sunday.)

For those night owls who expect to be at Fairchild tomorrow:  what kind of mango tree are you buying?  And why?
I'm hoping for an Angie. Maybe a second tree, but I don't know which one.  ???

Also, someone with gravitas could step up and decide where and when forum members might want to meet each other at the festival. Anyone who has raised children or been a CEO would qualify, I think.
