Calling ALL Watermelon Industry Members--<\/p>\n

On Saturday 1-27-2024 the Western Watermelon Association will hold its annual convention in Las Vegas. If you are a watermelon grower, shipper, distributor or a related service provider in the Western United States, YOU will want to attend this industry event!<\/p>\n

  The Convention focus<\/p>\n

1)     To bring together watermelon growers, shippers, distributors and related service providers in a relaxed environment that allows for the free flow of information and the exchange of ideas.<\/p>\n

2)     To offer guest speakers that will provide attendees  with an educational and informative experience.<\/p>\n

3)     To Have FUN<\/b>--You will be in Vegas!<\/p>\n

After our presentations end at 1:pm. The FUN<\/b> Begins! We move to another venue, Tom's Urban. At Tom's Urban you will have 3 HOURS to eat, drink (over 20 beers on tap and a Premium bar package), and socialize with friends with an amazing view of the Vegas strip.<\/p>\n

Additionally -- if you are a first time attendee, association membership fees are waived as a condition for attending the convention. That means you get ALL of the above, including a Full Breakfast for the incredibly low price of $300.00 dollars.<\/p>\n
