2009 Texas Gourd
Society Raffle Gourd
The 2009 Texas Gourd Society Raffle Gourd will be
"Wildflowers of Texas". It will be designed and created by artists
from all of our patches across Texas. If all goes on schedule, the gourd
will be ready for display at the 2008 Lone Star Gourd Festival October 18-19,
2008, in Fredericksburg, TX. Tickets will go on sale then and sales will
continue throughout the remainder of 2008 and 2009. The gourd will travel
across Texas on display. It will be raffled at the 2009 Lone Star Gourd Festival,
date to be determined. The status and progress photos of the project will
be posted at this site. Please follow our raffle gourd’s progress.
The gourd is divided into nine sections; each
section will be completed by one of our patches. Texas wildflowers to be
included on the gourd are Indian Blanket, Blackeyed Susan, Wine Cup, Bluebonnet,
Verbena, Pink Primrose, Mexican Hat, Coneflower, and Texas Paintbrush. The
top will be coiled with pine needles, complementing the wildflowers.
