Local foods for the holidays: Pecan Dessert Contest!

Prize Winners from Past Years in Van Horn's
Pecan Dessert Contest
Hotel El Capitan decorated for the holidays
Pecans are grown in the fields around Van Horn, one of the area's agricultural crops...so when the Town of Van Horn asked our help adding to their holiday festivities a few years ago, we suggested they add a pecan dessert content.  This will be the fourth year entries will be judged at the Hotel El Capitan, and prizes given for the best desserts.  The Van Horn Convention Center is coordinating the contest, for information, visit with Brenda Hinojos, 432-283-2682.  The contest will be held Saturday, December 1.  Entries are due to the Hotel El Capitan that morning!

Stay in town that evening for the charming Lighted Christmas Parade!
