Applications for the 2023 Idaho-E. Oregon Onion Country VIP Tour are now being taken by the Idaho-E. Oregon Onion Committee, and as in years past airfare, lodging, meals and group ground transportation are being provided to selected buyers.
Dates for this year’s event are Oct. 5-7, with VIPs met at the Boise airport on Thursday, Oct. 5, and taken to their Ontario, OR, lodging. An industry dinner will be hosted by the Committee that night.
The preliminary agenda for Friday, Oct. 6, includes meetings with several Treasure Valley onion shippers and sales staff, tours of sheds and visits to a number of fields during harvest. In addition, an industry luncheon and dinner will be hosted by the Committee on Friday.
On Saturday, VIPs can make arrangements for a continued stay or be provided with transportation to the Boise airport for their return flights. VIPs who stay over will be treated to a Boise State University football game.
