Empire State Fruit and Vegetable Expo The 2005 Empire State Fruit and Vegetable Expo will be held in Syracuse, New York at the Oncenter Convention Center on February 14-17, 2005. This combined fruit and vegetable show brings together the New York State Vegetable Growers Association, Inc., Cornell Cooperative Extension, The Empire State Potato Growers Club, the New York State Berry Growers Association and the New York State Horticultural Society in order to provide a first-rate educational conference and commercial agricultural trade show. “We are very pleased to be in Syracuse for the Expo,” says Jeff Kubecka, executive secretary of the New York State Vegetable Growers Association, Inc. and Co-chair of the Empire State Fruit and Vegetable Expo. “This central New York location is ideal for growers attending from all over the state, and the surrounding states. The Oncenter facility itself is a great venue to hold not only the trade show but also the educational sessions.” The conference features many full-day sessions on a variety of commodities grown in New York State, including potatoes, sweet corn, onions, tree fruit, berries and cabbage. Half-day sessions are held on a variety of topics as well and may focus on tomatoes, vine crops, stone fruit, peppers, soil health and high tunnel production. In addition to the educational sessions, many of the Associations and groups involved in the Expo hold meetings for their members to attend. Free shuttle bus service will run from the Holiday Inn Syracuse, conveniently located off of the New York State Thruway at exit 37. Expo attendees will be able to park their cars at the Holiday Inn’s parking lot and ride the complimentary shuttle directly to the front door of the Oncenter, located in downtown Syracuse. Make plans now to attend this exciting conference and trade show. The 2005 Empire State Fruit and Vegetable Expo promises to be an event that you don’t want to miss! Please contact the New York State Vegetable Growers Association, Inc. at 315-687-5734 or nysvga@twcny.rr.com for more information about the Expo. Trade show exhibitor information will be available in September 2004 and the conference programs detailing the complete educational program will be available in December 2004. Links:
