VCTGA Annual Conference and Farm Tour
It’s been a while since we’ve been to Blacksburg. The Holiday Inn, a longtime VCTGA meeting site, is no longer a fixture in town, but do not fear we have a new venue and place to stay right on the Virginia Tech Campus. The University has generously agreed to let us use their Alphin Stuart Arena Facility for our meeting and we have negotiated a very favorable rate for lodging at the Inn at Virginia Tech. That combined with a great program, a memorable evening social and dinner planned at the Hahn Garden, plus a Saturday visit to Spruce Ridge Tree Farm make this meeting a must for all our members, vendors, exhibitors, and friends of our industry.
