This year again, golfers who are unable to participate both days now have the option of participating in one-day tournaments (Friday or Saturday).  For golfers who maintain the same team (no exceptions), they will be automatically entered into the two day tournament. Meanwhile, all two-person teams will also be competing head-to-head Friday & Saturday at the Tubac Golf Resort.  We will have separate 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners on Friday & Saturday, and we will have overall awards for 1st & 2nd place for teams that participate on both days. Hole-in-one, closest to the pin, and longest drive prizes will continue as in the past!!!  We hope to see you there!!!

Today, Mexico has become the top supplier of fresh fruits and vegetables for the United States - and the FPAA is the leading agent of produce trade at the U.S.-Mexico border and across the country. Founded in Nogales, Arizona, in 1944, the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas has grown to become one of the most influential agricultural groups in the United States.   Today, the FPAA provides a powerful voice for improvement and sustainability, serving the needs of more than 100 North American companies involved in the growth, harvest, marketing, import, and distribution of Mexican produce.   Our efforts, combined with the support of our members, yield positive results. We initiated and support major changes that benefit the industry of produce trade across the Mexican border.
