I see one scheduled for Ashville,NC which is a nice area with pretty cool terrain.

Not exactly a hop skip and a jump but close enough to consider.

Anyone ever been to one or heard any opinions ?

Admittedly the seminar subjects listed are a little more involved than my limited scope.

But I can see where a person could learn a bit especially if you already have a homestead and or the beginnings of one.

Let me know if you have any info, shoot I may be missing something cool listed that I do not even realize.

There are a bunch on that list that I would be interested in. I'll have to see if they ever come near me.
