Hi Dot,

We were invited to do the Cincy show last year for the first time and I was amazed at the energy level of the society members; everyone pitched in to help us set up our exhibit and sales areas and I swear I gained 5 lb. as a result of their hospitality room! Because the sales venue is tight, I think they have to limit the number of vendors, so there were only 7-8 vendors total last year, and I don't think recall seeing Bill Porter there.

Thanks,
 
Thank heavens I won't have to drag my husband to an orchid show on his birthday weekend this year!

Hmm, just checked my calendar...it shows Easter is April 8th. Is my calendar wrong?
 
Hey Katherine,

OMG! Palm Sunday is April, 1, 2012.......Thanks much for the correction; The MOS Palm Sunday show is being held at the United Food & Beverage Worker's Union Building in Madison Heights, MI over the April 1, 2012 weekend and not the April 7 weekend. Thanks again Katherine, it would have been an awfully lonely show with only one vendor and no customers!

Best Regards,
 
Here's the original schedule with the date corrected for the MOS Palm Sunday Show in Madison Heights, MI.

Bill had a conflict with that show, but he usually goes to both shows they have each year. He's also a judge at that center.

It is tight. I did the show one year for Porters. Very tight, but good sales.
