The evening before the workshop EMBA hosts the Beekeeper’s Mardi Gras Banquet to be held in The Missouri Room on the beautiful Maritz Campus

The Mardi Gras Beekeeping Banquet is held on Friday night before the EMBA Annual Beekeeping Workshop and is a great kick off to our beekeeping weekend. We will have a Mardi Gras themed buffet dinner with a cash bar. Beginners and Experienced beekeepers join together to talk about bees and beekeeping. There will be an after dinner presentation by one of our workshop speakers. NewBees can use this evening to meet beekeepers and get their questions answered on a one on one basis. We hope all our workshop attendees will join us for this wonderful start to a great weekend, Everyone is welcome at the banquet. You do not have to attend the workshop to come to the banquet. Many spouses enjoy the banquet but do not attend the workshop. We are sorry, but we are not able to guarantee special dietary requests at this event, however there will be many choices at the buffet.
