BELLVILLE — Do you have a pecan tree in your front or back yard? Not sure what variety it is? You do not need to own a pecan orchard to participate in the Annual Austin County Pecan Show. If you live in a neighboring county and your county does not host a pecan show, you are also eligible to enter the Austin County Pecan Show.
The Horticulture Committee of Austin County will host its Annual Pecan Show on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Office at 800 E Wendt St. in Bellville. A short educational program starts at 6 p.m., followed by an awards presentation. This year’s pecan program will feature Stephen Janak, AgriLife Extension Horticulture program specialist. Janak will discuss some of the new alternative uses for pecans that are becoming popular. The educational and awards program is open and free to the public, even if you did not enter pecans into the show.
Entries for the show must be delivered to the agriLife exten- sion office during normal busi ness hours, 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m., from Friday, Nov. 1, until Monday, Nov. 25. To be entered in the show, all entries must be submitted by 4 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 25.
