The society holds an annual show each spring in the Agricultural Arena on Penn State University's main University Park campus. Our shows are sanctioned by the American Orchid Society and judged by official AOS judges. Entries are open to individuals, societies, and commercial growers, and we generally have exhibitors from across Pennsylvania and several surrounding states. There are no entry fees. In addition to the exhibits, there is also a sales area where exhibitors can offer plants and supplies for sale; the society provides a central checkout facility and keeps a percentage of the proceeds. Admission is free and open to the public, and convenient parking is available.
