ALBANY AGRICULTURAL SHOW
Our orchid display and sale at the Albany Show went reasonably well we made a small profit and it was very good public relations event for our wonderful club. There was a lot of interest from the public and some of the sale orchids went to good homes. All in all, everyone who was involved had an enjoyable time. Thanks to those who could spare a few hours to help out.
