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

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.
