Hello to apple growers in northeast NY and the Champlain region!
There is still time to attend Cornell Cooperative Extension's 2012
Upper Hudson / Champlain Commercial Fruit School, which is taking
place next week, on Monday, February 13, at the Fort William Henry
Hotel and Conference Center in Lake George NY - but you must act soon!
Certified New York and Vermont pesticide applicators can earn 3.00
re- certification credits. The day begins with coffee and check-in at
7:30 AM.
Registration cost ranges from $25 to $90 per person depending on 2012
enrollment status in the Northeast NY Fruit Program.
Program registration includes concurrent trade show admission,
morning refreshments, and a luncheon buffet.
To Register please contact Nancy Kiuber at (518) 885-8995 or
[email protected]. (Sorry, Exhibitor spaces have been filled. Vendor
inquiries are welcome for 2013.)
Please contact Nancy ASAP. After Wednesday morning - while Walk-ins
and late registrations will still be be OK - they will carry an
additional $10.00 late fee and we may not be able to guarantee you
