I was there. It was fun something for the wife and kid to do while I was listening to Greg and deciding what I was going to buy that I did not have. It was nice to hear how excited all the new banana growers where to try and grow bananas. It was nice that thanks to this site I could answer most of the questions. I also learned a few new things that I could try next season. Sorry no pics.

Is this festival every year at the same time of the year?

Usually falls on the third weekend in October. Great place to get large plants pretty cheap.

I have never been, sounds like fun. On average what kind of price could I expect and how large of a plant?

Last year they were about 3-6 feet tall and $20 each.

What did you learn? Any helpful hints for zone 8a growers?

I live 10 miles from the place and have always had to work on the saturday when they have this - I'm gonna make it over there one year.

Will trade computer support services (certified infosec engineer here) in exchange for plants :)
