Preparations for the 2021 Tri-State Grain Growers Convention are moving full speed ahead. The Washington Association of Wheat Growers (WAWG) is monitoring COVID-19 requirements and will provide updates as necessary at wawg.org and in the weekly Greensheet email newsletter.
This year’s event is scheduled for Nov. 30-Dec. 3 at the Davenport Grand Hotel in Spokane, Wash., and is sponsored by WAWG, the Oregon Wheat Growers League and the Idaho Grain Producers Association. Besides offering an opportunity to socialize and network, producers will hear state and national policy updates, enjoy top-notch keynote speakers and participate in educational break-out sessions. A detailed agenda is available here. Producers can register for the convention online.
There is still time to take advantage of the 15×40 program, which offers a free convention registration to 15 Washington state producers under 40 years of age who haven’t attended the convention before. For the first time ever, the program will also include lodging costs. A standard room rate will be reimbursed by the Washington Wheat Foundation. Receipt required, and no additional charges will be allowed. Besides a convention registration, if the participant isn’t a WAWG member, he or she will get a one-year paid association membership. To register, call the WAWG office at (509) 659-0610.
WAWG is still accepting entries into the photo contest. Submissions should be sent to lori@wawg.org by noon, Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2021. Please include photographer’s name, contact and caption information. For more information, please contact Lori Williams at lori@wawg.org or by phone at (509) 659-0610. Contest is open to convention registrants only, and photos must have been taken within the last 12 months. The grand prize is a free registration to the 2022 Tri-State Grain Growers Convention to be held at the Coeur d’Alene Resort in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Nov. 29-Dec. 2, 2022. Winning photos may be used in 2022 marketing materials and will be published in Wheat Life, Oregon Wheat and Idaho Grain magazines. Entries will be displayed throughout the 2021 convention.
