GET READY FOR THE |
| SHOW YOUR PLANTS: Please bring plants to show. It does not matter whether they are "staged" with special pots, top dressing and rocks. We want diversity. Remember that many who will wander in to see our plants are not well acquainted with cacti and succulents - they are just as amazed by the 'ordinary' as well as the 'extra-ordinary'. The only thing to watch for is mealy bugs or scale insects. We can't accept any "buggy" plants. |
| ENTRY CARDS: If you don't have entry cards, don't worry, You can fill one out on Saturday morning. |
| BRING YOUR PLANTS EARLY: Bring them Saturday morning between 7 and 9 am so we can set up the show. It is really difficult to add plants after the show is set up. |
| BRING "ALLIED INTERESTS": Such as; photographs, ceramic succulents, etc. - any arts and crafts display dealing with cacti and other succulents. |
| VISIT WITH THE VISITORS: The Show and Sale is officially open from 10am - 6pm on Saturday and 11am - 4pm on Sunday. Even if you have not signed up, please "hang around" and talk to visitors. No special expertise is required. It is lots of fun to share our enthusiasm with the public. |
| BCSS T-SHIRTS: Be sure to wear your BCSS T-shirt. |
| TAKE YOUR RIBBONS HOME: Pick up your plants and ribbons between 3 and 4 on Sunday afternoon. |
