Dear Texas Beekeepers, Our Honey Queen is buzzing all about the country! After being at the TBA Summer Clinic and Field Day on June 7 in Paris, TX, and then participating in several other events, Rachael and I had lunch together to celebrate her 20th birthday on July 2. What a lovely and very capable young woman we have as our spokesperson as American Honey Queen.! We can all be so proud of Rachael Seida, hailing from our great state of Texas!! Rachael and I had been planning to do a media workshop led by Sarah Kornfield and held for Rachael Seida, Nicole Pettibon (Collin County Honey Queen), and Allison Adams (Collin County Honey Princess). Said workshop was held at Sarah Kornfield’s home in Plano, TX, on Saturday, July 5. Thank you, Sarah, for all of your attention and coaching for these young women. Thank you, Jennie Kornfield, for opening your home to the queens and princess, and thank you, Melody Seida, for attending. Rachael Seida, as American Honey Queen, will participate in Cooking with Honey demonstrations at the State Fair of Texas on Saturday and Sunday, October 18 and 19. Rachael will also be at the TBA Honey Booth on some other days. Do schedule with John Talbert your time at the TBA Honey Booth at the State Fair of Texas beginning Friday, September 26, and ending Sunday, October 19. Mark your calendars for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, November 6, 7, and 8. Call for your reservations at Southfork Hotel, 1600 N Central Expwy. Plano,TX, 972-578-8555, or make them online at www.southforkhotel.com. We want you all to join us at the Texas Beekeepers Convention in Plano where we will have several queen events and activities, culminating in the crowning of 2009 Texas Honey Queen. Do encourage all past Texas Honey Queens and Honey Queen Chairpersons to join us at the convention for special recognition. Call me or email me to have Rachael Seida, American Honey Queen, come to an event in your area! I look forward to seeing you at our TBA convention in November in Plano, TX! Shirley Acevedo
