Martin Colony History: Martin Landlord for 18 years

Hello everyone. I'm giving up being a Landlord after 25 years. It breaks my heart as I have a full house every year, but I lost my Huband in March & due to bad health I can no longer do nest checks. Would like to give my Fountain gourd racks, plastic gourds with cooling caps & 2 in. Poles a metal feeder & pole away to a Landlord preferably in my area. I live in Verdigris okla. My area is also Claremore, Catoosa. I also have sizing charts extra gourds & baffles for poles. You can contact me at [email protected] or on the Forum. PS there are 16 gourds.

How long are your gourd rack poles? I have a cousin about 2 hours away from you and he acted kind of interested in picking them up but he wondered how long your poles were
