Design and Sales Competition at Nursery Conference
Sign-up sheets for the design and sales competitions at the PA Landscape and Nursery Conference (Tuesday, Feb. 10) are available on the bulletin board between 305 and 306 Tyson. The entry fee is $25, and the top prize is $750--not a bad turnaround for two hours work ($362.50 per hour). Last year Penn State won first, second, and third prizes. Let's keep the tradition going. The printed deadline is today, so get your entry in very soon. If you have questions, contact me or Martin.
