INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and follow all instructions carefully!
Classes will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Classes may already be full by the time we process your registration form and may not be listed as full on this form. Please register for classes as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
$8.00 is added to the class fees to pay for the fairgrounds. This portion of the class fees is non-refundable. Refunds for classes canceled by the teacher will always be provided. Refunds for classes dropped by students will be provided until Thursday, May 7. AFTER THURSDAY, MAY 7, NO REFUNDS WILL BE PROVIDED FOR DROPPED CLASSES!
There are two steps to class registration:
First, fill out and submit this form, and wait for a confirmation email with your class
schedule. We will hold your class
reservations for 10 days after confirmation, pending receipt of your payment.
Second, when you receive your confirmation email, click on the PayPal link in the confirmation email to pay using PayPal, or write a check or money order payable to Gourd Gathering. If you choose to pay with check or money order, mail a copy of the confirmation email and your check or money order, to:
Julie Honchar
858 Grand Canyon Road
Inman, SC 29349
You should receive your confirmation email from the first step with your class schedule within 48 hours. In addition to checking your email, also check your spam folder for an email, since some email providers do not like emails from web pages. If you have not received an email within the above time frame, or if you have any questions, contact Julie Honchar by email (gourdgatheringregr@dragonworks.info) or phone (864-237-5826).
Please enter your Name, Email Address, Address and Phone Number. For your Phone Number, you may enter numbers only or numbers with the appropriate dashes (i.e. 1112223333 or 111-222-3333). Enter the number of 2026 Patches desired, if any. You will be charged $6.00 for each 2026 Patch.
There are lunch sessions included in this form. This form treats lunches the same as classes. Please select your lunch choices using the same method described below for classes. Each lunch will include bottled water.
There are eleven Class Sessions.
For each of the session times that you plan to attend class, choose the classes you are interested in -
in the order of your preference.
Select your first, second, third or fourth Class ID choice by clicking on the arrow to the right of the
choice field and, when the Class ID list appears, clicking on your choice. If your first class choice
is full, you will be enrolled in your second choice, and so on. You may list as few or as many choices
as you like. If you want to enter more than four choices, list the Class Session and additional choices
in the "COMMENTS" section at the end of the form, in the order of your preference. Some classes may not
be listed in the order of their assigned times, so look carefully at the schedule below and the notes on the
left of this form for times.
Classes lasting all day will appear in both sessions in the schedule below. If you choose an all day
class and other class choices in the second session of the all day class, make sure you choose the all day
class in both sessions. Doing this will help us determine your preferred order of class choices,
when you choose an all day class.
You may add comments in the "COMMENTS" section at the end of the form.
Please choose all your classes for the entire event, then complete the form and submit it. If you want to make changes later, you can fill out the form again with your changes, but please add a note in the "COMMENTS" section describing your changes.
Only one person is allowed on a form.
Previously requested items will be retained. If you no longer want those items, leave a note in
the "COMMENTS" section to remove them.
If you think there was a problem with your submission, contact
Julie Honchar (gourdgatheringregr@dragonworks.info).
