    Welcome Wisconsin Christmas Tree Growers,
    It was a pleasure to meet with some of you at the Winter convention in Wausau this past January. As a new member it was great to see such a strong turnout and the warm welcome that the new members received. During the initial Saturday presentation there was some discussion on the development or implementation of a website that would be used to join growers with retailers and transportation vendors all in one location. I found that very interesting because I have been developing just such a site.
    Christmastreetown.com began with a simple goal- to connect growers, wholesalers, retailers and industry suppliers in one location. Through Christmastreetown.com members can communicate more effectively and become more proactive in there ongoing search for information by participating in the forums. Members are privy to the opportunity to openly discuss their problems and their passions, to express opinions on the equipment they are using, to share their good times and bad times, to answer questions and ultimately never work alone.
    Christmastreetown.com is a website with FREE membership, available to those with an interest in the Christmas Tree growing industry. This is a new site and to be successful will need users to begin communicating and sharing information, actively posting in forums, browsing and posting to classifieds, and reading, writing or submitting articles. With your input and participation, Christmastreetown.com can become a valuable resource for all of us. Thank you for your participation.

    Regards,

    Christmas Trees and Social Media

    As the busy season in the Christmas tree industry winds down, the winter season is a great time to spend time on the internet discussing and debating a host of topics related to our business.
    It is our hope that this site turns out great forums to research, learn techniques, and overall just converse with other Christmas tree growers across the country. The information sharing is incredible and that is what the Internet is about. The same is true for new products. If it works. or not, you will read about it.
    Your contributions in terms of articles, merchandise reviews, pictures and information sharing is what will make this site a success. Whether you are at home, on your cell phone, Ipad, etc., you are just a click away from talking Christmas trees. With that increased knowledge and information comes responsibility. Let's all strive to respect each other and what we learn from our interactions.

    Merry Christmas,

    A letter from the Adminsitrator

    A few years ago an interest in growing Christmas trees was sparked in me. It was difficult to find information on growing trees, using herbicides and fertilizers and locating equipment. I spent many long hours searching the internet for information. There had to be a better way.
    Christmastreetown began with a simple goal – to connect growers, wholesalers, retailers and industry suppliers in one location. Through Christmastreetown, members communicate more effectively and become more proactive in their ongoing search for information on new products and services. Every day, our members are provided the opportunity to openly discuss their problems and their passions, to express opinions on the equipment and supplies they’re using, to share their good times and bad times, to answer questions and to question answers. The ultimate goal is to never work alone. The Christmastreetown community is turning members into contributors in the power of communication and networking, in the work they do, and in the community they’ve helped create. Christmastreetown is changing how we gather information online and in locations around the world every day.
    Thank you for your initial support of Christmastreetown.
    Keep Smiling,
    John Minalt
