Default Going to fist Orchid Show- need suggestions!!

Hi, Have comfortable shoes & lots of money!
Ask questions, tell the vendor your growing conditions.
Most are pretty good about selling plants that are good for your
environment,
as they want you to buy from them again.
If you have the time, search for info on the net for the society's
show.
They will have a list of vendors & you may be able to see stuff on
their websites. A sneak preview?

This weekend near my house is an Orchid Show. It is an AOS show for the
state at a local mall.
I was thinking maybe I should get there early the first day- to get a
selection of the best orchids, then return on the last day- maybe for
some bargains from people who still have some left.
I have been collecting for a couple of years and have 20-30 orchids. I
grow them under a 400 watt MH in my basement, and let them bloom in a
bow window in my living room. I want to buy a few nice additions this
weekend.
Any suggestions for a first timer would be greatly appreciated!
