2008
AHS HOSTA CONVENTION
June 11-14, 2008
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Since most of us have been experiencing a much later spring than usual, we are extending the regular registration fee of $250 from May 1 to May 13, 2008.
This new date coincides with the deadline for the convention rate at the hotel. So, take advantage of the new regular registration date of May 13th, use your stimulus check on your favorite plant, the hosta, and Meet Me in St. Louis.
Events OPEN TO THE PUBLIC include the Auction, Hosta Show, and Vendors. Please check the convention schedule for dates and open times of these events.
The St. Louis
Hosta Society is honored and excited to host the 2008 AHS National
Convention! We look forward to 'Meeting you in St. Louis' in 2008!
The
National convention of the American Hosta Society will be held in
St. Louis on June 11 to
June 14, 2008. The convention hotel will
be the Sheraton Westport Chalet Hotel St. Louis.
