2012POE Trophy Winners View a list of all 2012 Pacific Orchid Exposition Winners including Best In Show, Best of Section (by Skill), Cultural Awards and Exhibit Winners Senate Proclamation Letter from the POE Chair As Chair of the Pacific Orchid Exposition I would like to thank all who attended our show this year. It looks to have been more successful than we had dared to hope, given the past few years. To those who experienced long waits for our shuttle service this past weekend, please accept my sincerest apologies. We contracted for shuttle vans based on attendance to the previous years' shows, and with the understanding that we would not have access to the Marina Middle School parking lot this year. We were only given access to the lot shortly before the show, and when it became clear that we had a problem with the wait time, it was too late for us to do anything. We will make certain that changes are made so that this does not happen in the future! Parking has long been an issue at the show, as it is throughout San Francisco. We encourage people to carpool and to take public transportation when possible, but understand that (especially where people anticipate purchasing plants) this is not always an option. There have also been additional complaints about the parking charge at the Marina Middle School. I need to make it clear that, as with the charge to park in Fort Mason's lot, it is not something over which we have any control, nor from which we get any money. The suggested donation is collected by, and used by the school itself..Nor do our volunteers, staff or vendors get any discounts on those fees. If we had our "druthers" parking would remain free in both places as it was a number of years ago. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience or frustration caused by our lack of adequate shuttle service, and we hope you will join us again next year, February 21-24, 2013, for the 61st Pacific Orchid Exposition. Sincerely, Dennis Westler, Chair Letter of Appreciation from the POE Chair, Dennis Westler Letter of Appreciation and Recommendation from an Expo Attendee
