Ridley College Welcomes the Sports Turf Association

At the heart of the historic Niagara Peninsula lies Ridley College, venue for the Sports Turf Association's 19th Annual Field Day, September 21st, 2006.
Located in St. Catharines, Ontario, the Garden City is only 110 kilometers from Toronto, 50 kilometers from Hamilton, and 19 kilometers from Niagara Falls and the U.S. border. The city is bisected by the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) and also links to the 400-series highways for easy access from points north, east and west.

This year's program features Dr. Andrew McNitt, Assistant Professor of Soil Science at Penn State University, with sessions on Drainage, Utilizing Compost On Athletic Fields, and Prioritizing Limited Resources with regard to Multi-Use Field Maintenance.

Joining Dr. McNitt on the program is Evan Elford, M.Sc. Candidate from the University of Guelph, who will provide research results from both the 2005 and current season on the Effects of Overseeding Athletic Field Turfgrass to Reduce Weed Pressure.

We welcomed record attendance in 2005 and Delegates will again be provided the opportunity to meet with Industry Suppliers to view displays and request equipment demonstrations.

The Sports Turf Association is a professional association committed to the promotion of safe, natural sports turf. Visit www.sportsturfassociation.com for complete details as they become available or contact the STA office at 519.763.9431, email info@sportsturfassociation.com.
