Orchtoberfest 10 is happening in DeLand Florida. It's an International Orchid show going on this weekend and it is great. Orchtoberfest 10 has a lot to offer for Serious, Casual & Novice Growers, plus Comercial Interests & "lookie loos" alike.

We were there yesterday. I talked to many folks, some of whom are here on ORCHIDTALK from time to time. I realize we aren't supposed to mention names. However it is about growers, breeders & hobbyists from across U.S.A. including Hawaii & South America who gathered here again for this great annual event. IF you're in the Central Florida Region & serious about Orchids do not miss this "Freebie Show". A lot to see & lot's to learn also. It's worth the effort, and there are 2 days left. It's free to all comers.

Check it out for yourselves if you can. There are free rides for kids, places to sit & talk for Orchid Fanatics & carnival ambience for fans & curious folks. Emu's & Donkies & other animals roam a fenced off range area, within sight.
It is not a money maker for anybody. It's a chance to broaden our bases & even see and learn more about these great plants. . . . .

I'll post pix later when I have a chance. I'm way way overloaded today and can not "gitter-Dun" right now. For the physical addy, simply google it. This is an opportunity to grow knowledge & wisdom on Orchids for all who attend. I thought I'd share with y'all.
