Plans are being linalizcd tor a hrsi- 

 rate Winter Meeting to be held 

 January 14, 2004. Eaton Farms ot 

 Leesports, PA is the 2004 key 

 sponsor. This event is a popular 

 educational conterence centered at 

 Bedford s Wayfarer Inn. A complete 

 roster of speakers fill the day with in- 

 dustry updates and research trends.

 couraged to meet green industry con-

Farm & Forest in the 

 Queen City 



February 6 & 7 are the dates lor the 

 2004 Farm and Forest Exposition. 

 NHPGA would like to offer one 

 member an opportunity to highlight 

 his/her operation at the NHPGA 

 booth. NHPGA will pay the booth 

 space and supply handouts including 

 the "hot-otf-the-press" retail directory. 

 The participating business can decide 

 the booth's theme, provide plants, and 

 supply staff for the booth. Other asso- 

 ciation members may be available to 

 man the booth if necessary. 



This could be a great new opportu- 

 nity just prior to the 2004 selling 

 season. Many homeowners take in this 

 winter expo to rediscover their 

 greenthumb and browse through new 

 landscaping ideas for spring and 

 summer. A key role in the NHPGA 

 booth at the Expo would shine the 

 spotlight on the products and services 

 your business offers.
