Announcing Association for Butterflies’ Fall 2009 Symposium!
The 2009 Association for Butterflies symposium will be held in a location nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains of Townsend, Tennessee on October 16-18, close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. These are some of the most beautiful and popular autumn getaway destinations in the continental United States. This symposium is geared toward beginning and advanced butterfly farmers and enthusiasts. Breathtaking mountain vistas, brilliant fall colors, and informative programs highlight this year’s symposium.
The Valley View Lodge, in Townsend, offers a variety of amenities such as indoor Jacuzzis and waterfalls, trout fishing, tubing and canoeing on the Little River, and horseback riding. Meeting rooms and affordable guest rooms are available to accommodate our symposium.
This location is perfect for a fall vacation after your summer butterfly season!
