Even old dogs can learn new tricks: Come to Great Lakes Expo

Jeanne Himmelein, Michigan State University Extension - October 28, 2011

2011 Great Lakes Expo December 6-8 at DeVos Place, Grand Rapids. What better place to sharpen your knowledge and learn something new?

<p>Why am I sharing this with you? Since listening to the lecture I want to propose a great method of learning for you and your co-workers on topics that you already have some familiarity and experience with. Attend the 2011 <a class= Michigan Greenhouse Growers Expo, which is held in coordination with the Great Lakes Fruit, Vegetable, and Farm Market Expo. At this conference, you can experience new concepts (unfamiliar categories), sharpen existing procedures and practices (familiar categories), and see what is new or better by viewing the trade show exhibits. This show utilizes all your senses, yes I said all: taste (sampling jams and smoothies), smell (freshly made donuts), sight (colorful displays of new and unique plant material) touch (interactive exhibits), and of course sound (listen to presentations on a wide range of production and marketing practices).

Visit the Expo’s website for more information and register by November 11 to save money.
