2022 Fall Hosta Forum

The Fall Hosta Forum is coming to a town not far from you.   

It would be a crime to miss it.

This year’s FORUM is our 25th, and so we are making it a true celebration!  We’ve got world class speakers on topics YOU requested…  and we’ve got a great theme – SUPERHEROES.  You know the drill….  the Fall Hosta Forum is a symposium co-sponsored by Western New York and Western PA Hosta Societies.  It takes place at the half-way point;  Edinboro, PA (near Erie).  The formula is that we have four speakers…. two hosta speakers and two on other topics.  We have a lunch.  We have a live auction and a silent auction.  We have vendors (and if you come on Friday night, you are able to preview the vendors and PLUS you receive a $5 voucher to spend – good only on Friday).  We generally have 100 to 120 registrants.  Some people come on Friday afternoon and visit a local nursery (Scotland Yard – voucher in your packet) and have a lunch on one of the local restaurants.  It is a casual, but very fun day and I hope you’ll join us!

DATE:        September 17th, 2022 – with a “Preview Night” on Friday, September 16th
WHERE:    Frank G. Pogue Student Center, Edinboro University
WHAT:        Our 25th Anniversary – theme is SUPERHEROES!
I am attaching all registration materials.  Please register as soon as you can so that we can plan.  If you are coming on Friday, you should book your hotel room INSTANTLY (so that we don’t get shut out again like in 2019).  We will have “hostatality” in the hotel breakfast room like we did last time.  Refreshments provided, but some folks like to BYO snacks and drinks.
We will have all of the other elements you love;  four quality speakers, lunch (and a dinner Friday).  We will have a live auction, a silent auction, a raffle, vendors and now a hosta sale table.

So there ya go (as they say in all the finest restaurants).
Any questions, please let me know.
