is this show for anybody or do you have to register and receive tickets to the show. im just an 18 yr old kid getting into the business but id be interested in going to this. does anyone have info on how i can get into the show?

[thelawnguy]

Anybody can go. Its usually $5 cheaper for pre-reg than day of show walk-in. But, no refunds on pre-reg. Last year walk-ins were $35, well worth it in my opinion just in free samples of roundup, software, coffee mugs etc.

Its at the exhibition hall (basement) of the Civic Center.

See you there.

Anything going on back home in July?? I'll be home for 3 weeks or so. Let me know.

When's the Big E ??

[thelawnguy]

July??? Nothing happens round here in July! Lots of car shows, thats about it. And the river festival in Hartford during the 4th.

Seriously, I post any relevant events as I learn of them.

Big E runs mid-September-October, first weekend.

Hey Guys -

I've been busy and haven't had a chance to sign on lately. The show mailings will go out this month. To add yourself to the list call (203) 699-9912 or e-mail our office - CGKA@snet.net. If you have any questions about the show, or want information about joining the Connecticut grounds Keepers Association contact me (Phil) at SLSNursery@aol.com.

Should be a good trade show, and plenty of recertification credits for pesticide license holders.

We have a speaker from ALCA coming, who is right on top of industry activity, happenings, etc.

I expect to have information on the CLT program CGKA will be running as an ALCA franchisee.

There will be technical and informative lectures

Scholarships are awarded to UCONN Plant Science students

You'll have a chance to meet plenty of other companies for an exciting trade show with a couple hundred vendor booths.

I hope to see you there.

Is there any of these shows coming to RI?

[SLSNursery]

I'm pretty sure there is a show in RI within the next month. I have the literature at my shop, and will update this message with the date when I find it. In addition, each summer there are turf days at URI, which are very informative and educational, with a few vendors related to sports turf and golf courses especially.
