The NHPGA 1992 Summer Meeting 



From the home-made doughnuts and cider to the drawino of the door 

 pn:e, the NHPGA's 1992 Summer Meeting went well — jolly Farmer had 

 the dav well-organized. A policeman directed traffic; staff directed park- 

 ing; after stopping at the registration btxith, you followed the sign^ 

 through the greenhouses to the trade show in back. 



There were over seventy exhibitors in the trade show — all of them 

 willing to talk; we were able to see a large industrial tub grinder in ac- 

 tion and a demonstration of a Blackmore Drum Seeder; We were given 

 tours of the greenhouses in which the boom-sprayers, the fog chambers, 

 and the rwo-nered system for watering hanging baskets seemed especialK 

 noteworthy. And before doing any oi this, we were able to watch the 

 NHA'T Teleflora Unit 'Design America' competition. 



Then there was lunch — Perillo's all-you-can-eat barbecue. And after 

 that, the scholarship auction with Peter Callioras as auctioneer. 



Dr. Pat Vittum spoke on "Biological Control — Where are We?" in the 

 morning and gave a "Review of Insect ID &. Control" after the auction 

 in the afternoon. Both talks were lively, informative, and well-attended. 



And finally, Len Harten (ffom Woodman Florist in Salem) won the 

 door prize, a weekend for two at the Snowy CKvl in Waterville Vallev. 



So the day was worth-while. 



As in any event of this size, thanks are due to many people: to every- 

 one at Jolly Farmer, whose organizational skills and attention to detail 

 were evident at every turn; to Peter Callioras, who donated hi-- time tc 

 help make the auction a success; to all the exhibitors who contributed 

 items; to Perillo's, for the fine lunch; to Pat Vittum, for all that useful 

 information; to the Board Members who made phone calls, ran the lec- 

 tures, helped with the auction, etc, etc.; to Bob Demers, who, along with 

 everything else, brought lots of new faces to the trade show;, to Chris 

 Robarge, who organized the publicity and registration.... 



Thank you everyone. See you next year. *»
