Thought I would throw this out now for your planning purposes if you are in Northeast US.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, NHOS has moved our show from second weekend in Feb. to March 27-29, 2020 and it will be held at The Falls Event Center in Manchester, NH.

Southern New Hampshire Events Venue | Corporate & Social Events

As we get a little closer to the date, I'll post plant vendors who are expected to partticipate.

Hopefully these dates will make us less susceptible to weather intrusion.

Unfortunately we have decided to cancel given the corvid-19 outbreak.

bummer but good call

So, NHOS toyed with the idea of trying to do an October show this year as a replacement for the show cancelled in March. They put the kaibosh on that this weekend.

Please put March 26-28, 2021 on your calendars and knock on wood.....this one can happen!

Sorry your show was cancelled. Ours took place right before everything exploded and all the area shows after were cancelled.

I hope everything is back to normal this spring!

I make my living (more or less) from participating in orchid shows. This past season, the last 5 were cancelled.

Realistically, I do not think we will see any shows for the next 12 months. Untill there is an effective vaccine, and a majority of the population has been inocculated, there will be restrictions on large indoor gatherings. I do not think we will reach that point till summer of 2021, and it might be later than that.

God speed, Kim. That is a terrifying lens to see this through.

I know I just think about the fun and great shopping of the shows and not the vendors and growers

People need to step it up and get this virus kicked
