Pecan Show; No Pecan Contest
The Annual Glasscock Pecan Show will be Nov. 19 in the community center, but because of weather conditions this year, there will not be a Pecan Division Contest due to an inadequate crop. The cooking division contest will continue as usual.
Cooking Division • Entry recipes must be in the Glasscock County Extension office by Nov. 9 at noon—no exceptions!
• Pecans must be in each recipe. • NOTE: Due to the school being a peanut-free zone, please avoid any ingredients that include peanut products. • No limit on number of entries per person. • Items requiring refrigeration WILL NOT be accepted. • Age categories: Adult, Youth (3rd-12th grade), Peewee (Pre-kindergarten–2nd grade) -- non-competitive.
• Food categories: Cake, Pie, Cookie & Bars, Candy, Bread and Miscellaneous.
• Enter food at the Glasscock County Community Center the day of the show (Nov. 19) between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. • The entire recipe must be entered for judging. • Place food on disposable dishes (they will not be returned), cover with clear plastic wrap, and place your name, division, and age category on the bottom of the container. • Ribbons awarded to top three placing entries in each category, rosettes for Reserve and Grand Champions, and participation ribbons for Peewee entries. All entries become the property of the Glasscock County Pecan Show.
• In the evening of Nov. 19, a live auction of the Grand and Reserve Grand Champion food items will take place during half time of each varsity basketball game. Schedule: JVG—4: p.m.; JVB—5 p.m.; VG—6:30 p.m.; and VB—8 p.m. • Non-auction food items and recipe books will be for sale in the school gym foyer during the duration of the games. • Proceeds generated from the auctions and sales go toward financing a scholarship that Garden City High School seniors may apply for in the spring through the school counselor.
