Each spring, Texas CattleWomen conduct a statewide beef promotion activity known as Beef for Father’s Day. Summertime means grilling time! To help highlight beef as the product of choice for barbecueing, Navidad Valley CattleWomen conduct an annual essay competition.
All area sixth grade students were invited to participate in an essay contest celebrating Dads and Father-figures. The topic was: What makes my Dad or Father figure so great and why he should be awarded a beef gift certificate.
The prizes were: fi rst prize - $60 beef gift certificate; second prize - $50 beef gift certificate; and third prize - $40 beef gift certificate. Beef gift certificates can only be used to purchase beef either at a local meat market, restaurant or grocery store. All entries were from the NVCW service area of Colorado, Fayette or Lavaca counties.
