SNA trade show set for Atlanta this week

The SNA (Southern Nursery Association) trade show will be this Thursday, Friday and Saturday (Aug. 10-12) in Hotlanta. The trade show hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. the first two days, and from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Saturday, at the Georgia World Congress Center, Bldg C. The Research Conference will be Wednesday and Thursday, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Pre-registration was free, but registration went up to $30 after July 15. They really are trying to avoid the long lines with free pre-registration. No one likes to stand in line. They now send us a number and we print our own badges and tickets on site.

Another nursery trade show will come closer to home, Oct. 6 and 7 in McMinnville. Believe it not, this will be MTNA?s 16th in McMinnville. This year MTNA will offer the attendees tours of our nurseries on Oct. 5.

Even if they do not visit your fields, you might want to clean up a little and sweep off the front porch, so to say, because they may drive by.

Clean, empty plastic pesticide containers can be taken behind the Sanitation Center on Belmont Drive any Wednesday between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Containers must be triple rinsed, with hard plastic caps removed.

They will also take 30 gallon poly barrels. Used rubber tires may also be taken to the same place, at the same times. If you need more information, call Ms. Ward at 473-2381 or Steve Hillis at 473-6874.
