2025 Indiana & Illinois Winter Meeting
Indiana State Fair
2024 Trees for Troops
The Indiana/Illinois annual Winter meeting will be held on Friday, January 31st and Saturday, February 1st at the Boone County Fairgrounds in Lebanon, Indiana.
We are so excited for this meeting as we have a stellar line-up of speakers this year. Please download, print, and send completed registration in attend this event. We are able to host multiple experts in the field of Christmas Tree's this year, discussing topics such as: funding from the FSA (USDA), insurance core essentials for a Christmas Tree Farm, weed control, and a variety of others! This is also a wonderful time to learn from each other with plenty of round-table discussions, and time to visit with fellow farmers.
We look forward to seeing everyone soon!
The Indiana State Fair took place August 2 through August 18th. ICTGA members set
up their exhibit booth on August 1st following the tree and wreath contest. The
association thanks ICTGA Board Members Milt Yakey and Andrea Lux for their hard
work to maintain the ICTGA exhibit booth at the fair. This year, over 20 ICTGA members volunteered their services and informed thousands of fair attendees about the benefits and beauty of real Christmas trees.
Thank you to all volunteers for your help in promoting real Christmas trees!
​
Congratulations to all of the Christmas Tree and Wreath Competition Winners!
