First five-county pecan show planned Dec. 4
Archer, Cooke, Clay, Grayson, Montague and Wise Counties are having the first North Texas Pecan Show on Dec. 4 in Montague.
The North Texas Pecan Show is an opportunity for any county resident with a pecan tree to learn more about pecans and compete for “bragging rights” for the best pecans in the county said County AgriLife Extension Agent Justin Hansard.
The pecan show will open at 9 a.m. at the Montague County Annex at 11339 State Hwy 59 North, Montague. Deadline for entries is Nov. 30 at each county extension office.
Hansard from talking to different people he learned there use to be a pecan show possibly back in the 1970s that included not only pecan judging but food judging and even a pecan queen.

The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
