Wentworth Greenhouses Orchid Weekend in New Hampshire (Portsmouth area).
There will be no meetings there, but we will have a show table. The New Hampshire Orchid Society will be there, but will not hold a meeting either. There will be lots of vendors and lots to see. The group of us who went down last year had a wonderful time and found some excellent bargains on orchids and supplies.

In 2010 the Cape & Islands Orchid Show will be relocating to Hyannis due to the fact that Sea Crest Resort & Conference center will be closed for a complete renovation. So we will be at their sister facility in Hyannis “The Resort & Conference Center at Hyannis” a 52 acre resort, has it’s own 18 hole golf course Twin Brooks.  It is located behind the Melody Tent at the West End rotary, 35 Scudder Avenue, Hyannis.
