NEW ENGLAND FRUIT MEETINGS AND TRADE SHOW 



The New England Fruit Meetings and Trade Show will be held at 

 the New Hampshire Highway Hotel, Concord, New Hampshire. The meet- 

 ings are scheduled for January 5 and 6, 1972. 



The hotel is accessible from all major highways. Routes 3 and 

 93, which lead to Concord, are accessible from anywhere in Massa- 

 chusetts. Persons coming from Western Massachusetts and Southern 

 Vermont may find the most convenient route to be Routes 9 or 10 to 

 Keene, New Hampshire, and then Routes 9, 202, 89 and 93 to the 

 Highway Hotel . 



This year a buffet meal is planned on the evening of the 

 first day instead of the banquet. The buffet will be followed by 

 a short speaking program and then dancing. 



For the Woman's Program at 2:00 P.M. on January 5, we are 

 fortunate to have Mr. George Michael as host. George Michael is 

 well-known as the Editor of the monthly magazine, the National 

 Antiques Review, and has authored three books: ANTIQUING WITH 

 GEORGE MICHAEL, THE TREASURY OF NEW ENGLAND ANTIQUES and the forth- 

 coming ANTIQUES OF THE FEDERAL PERIOD. He has served as antiques 

 columnist for the Christian Science Monitor , N.H. Profiles Maga - 

 zine , and still does a weekly column on N.H. Americana for the 

 statewide N.H. Sunday News .
