-*- CANCELED DUE TO COVID19 CONCERNS -*-
The COS hopes you and your families are well. As we are all aware, the Covid-19 virus is moving at a rapid pace. After careful discussion, the Connecticut Orchid Society’s Board has canceled our April 4 & 5, 2020 Show and Sale.
The board believes this is prudent to ensure the safety of our vendors, society members and guests from possible transmission of this serious virus. We look forward to next year’s show and we hope to see you all there!
Thank you for your understanding as we navigate this fast-changing situation.
