Dear Georgia Pecan Growers and Supporters,

As you all are aware due to Covid-19, this past March we postponed our Annual Conference and Trade Show to September 10th and 11th of 2020. We are excited to move forward with our Annual Conference, which will once again take place in Tifton, Georgia at the UGA Tifton Campus Conference Center. We will make every effort to follow the recommended safety guidelines for such a large gathering and are optimistic that we can hold successful meetings that also keep our attendees safe from virus exposure. We do ask that you take precautions and practice standard hygiene principles to ensure a healthy event and that all attendees have patience with GPGA and UGA conference staff during this event.

The Annual Conference is the Association’s main fundraiser. The conference is vital for funding GPGA’s operation expenses throughout the year, so your continued support has been greatly appreciated through this unprecedented and challenging time.

Registration will remain open online until the event occurs in September. All planned events will proceed at the Fall event, including the golf tournament, orchard tour, Welcome Reception, and Annual Awards Luncheon. We will not host our Annual Fall Field Day as we usually have done in the past; however, we will instead combine our Fall event with our conference activities. The orchard tour was previously to be held at Hudson Pecan in Ocilla, Georgia, but will now be held at The Ponder Farm in Tifton.

For those of you who already pre-registered for in the spring for the conference and still plan to attend in September, you DO NOT have to register again.

For those of you who have not yet registered at all, you may still do so online or by calling our office.

If you have already registered and would like a refund, please call us at the office at 229-382-2187.

For any other questions or concerns, please call us at the office at 229-382-2187.

Again, thank you for your patience and continued support. We look forward to a wonderful event in September to kick off the harvest season.

Thank you!
GPGA Staff & Board of Directors
