39th Connecticut Cactus Show

Succulents for sale by Rick Logee.

 This weekend, April 13-14, 2024. will be the 39th annual show and sale put on by the Connecticut Cactus and Succulent Society. As in the past few years, the show will be at the Bristol Community Center. There will be a judged show, and a full gymnasium of vendors, including some new nurseries. Cactus Show stalwarts Jeanine and Andy Loya will not be there this year; apparently their nursery in upstate New York was seriously damaged last week in a powerful wind and snow storm, that took the metal roof off of a nearby shed, and sent it through the roof of their greenhouse. We all hope the damage is not too severe and they will be back for the 40th anniversary show in 2025!

Sales area setup in progress Friday night.
