Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service is proud to announce that the 2012 Abilene Area Pecan Show will be held December 4.

Residents of Callahan, Jones, Shackelford, Nolan, Fisher and Taylor Counties will be participating.

Pecans will be cracked and shelled on Monday, December 3 and then judged on Tuesday, December 4.

Our judge for this year's competition is USDA-Agricultural Research Service (ARS) pecan breeder Tommy Thompson.

All entries will then be on display at the Extension office on Tuesday, December 4 until 6:00 p.m.
We will have a special Pecan Clinic and Award Ceremony at 6:00 p.m.

Topic of the seminar will be focused around history of pecan varieties and pecan tree care. We will wrap up the clinic by recognizing the participants in the pecan show.

All entries must be picked up from the Taylor County Extension Office following the clinic. Entries not picked up become the property of the Taylor County Extension Service.

For more information, contact the Taylor County Extension office at 325-672-6048.

Individuals with disabilities who require auxiliary aid or accommodations are asked to contact the Taylor County Extension office in advance of the program.

Extension programs serve people of all ages regardless of socioeconomic level, race, color, sex, religion, disability or national origin.
