Divide and Conquer!<\/span><\/h1>\n

Trade show season is upon us and UpShoot will be at the industry events listed below.
\nThis year besides Jim and me, we have a fresh face with us – my youngest son Robert Pettorini – who will be attending the MANTS show with me. Robert worked his first trade show in August, manning the UpShoot booth at the\u00a0FarWest<\/a>\u00a0show.<\/p>\n

\"Jim<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Robert has been behind the scenes maintaining the Mary Elizabeth show garden and as our resident computer geek.
\nWe welcome his friendly personality to help us divide and conquer the trade show floor this winter to visit all our licensed growers. Be sure to ask Robert or I for your ‘Sweet Treat’!<\/p>\n
