"POS Day" at the San Diego County Fair - June 21, 2008
The POS had a great day at the first ever, "Palomar Orchid Society Day" at the 2008 San Diego County Fair! POS thanks the organizers of the Ecke Flower and Garden Show at the Fair for inviting us and providing help with setup and transportation around the fairgrounds. The audience really enjoyed our program of POS member speakers, including Gil Ho, Merle Robboy, John Kidwell and Loren Batchman, going from 11AM to 5PM. We also enticed the audience to get into orchids with a free orchid plant for lucky attendees who asked questions!!
POS also thanks the members who loaned blooming plants for the display. We wanted to show off to the public, a taste of what we enjoy each month at our meetings "Show-and-Tell." Thanks to Warren Stehle, Pearl Crozier, Sandi Sandquist, Renee Daly, Merle Robboy, John Kidwell, and Gil Ho for providing plants.
Thanks also to our volunteers, Renee Daly, Harry Clyde, Kevin Hosmer, The Gordons, Linda Berger, Gil Ho, who worked at the informational tables. Most of the lecture content over the 4 hours was recorded by Gil Ho onto a single DVD. If you want a copy or want to see it, let Gil know by email or at the general meeting.
