According to a sign I saw at the store yesterday, this event has been canceled. I can't find any confirmation of that online, but I didn't see a listing of the event on the events page of the F&O website, either.

Here's the online announcement, but if you saw a sign announcing the cancellation, then that would be that.

Yes, looks like there are some inconsistencies in the messaging from F&O. If you think you would like to attend, it's probably a good idea to call ahead.

I just called and left a message; I will post when I have confirmation that it's happening...or not.

Just got a call back from F&O; this seminar is not going to happen. Very unfortunate.

I am very interested in sampling this year's winners (or as many as I can; all would be impossible) and feel it would be an appropriate focus on an LTH event. Still thinking...
