Latest and Greatest Events...

Recently the Pecan Shed has had the opportunity to participate in many local events. We also have more coming up that we are truly excited about.

On March 25th we were asked to be a part of the Wichita Falls Chamber Business After Hours that spotlighted "Women in Business". This night featured businesses owned or managed by women and it was a fabulous event. Thanks to Yvonne Milner with The Chamber for inviting us to attend. If you have never been to a Business After hours you should go because they are a lot of fun. Visit www.wichitfallscommerce.com for more information.

The following week on April 1st (no fooling) we had a booth at the SAFB Girls Night Out. We had done a booth at the event back in September and both times were a lot of fun. We appreciate all the women (and men...although they were not invited to the event) who have committed themselves to serving our country and we appreciate their family members as well so anything we can do to give back is always welcomed. Thanks to David Shawver for inviting us again and we look forward to the next one!

Then on Wednesday, April 7th we had a "Hello Neighbor Tour" from Henrietta stop by our store. This group is headed by Sherri Hassell and we had around 30 people in our store. We gave the group a little talk regarding the Pecan Shed and our business, we had samples of fudge dipped strawberries for them, and we took them on a tour of our building. I think everyone enjoyed the experience...I know we sure did!

Upcoming is the Red River Wine Festival hosted by the ladies of the Senior Junior Forum. We have been a part of this event for several years now and each year it seems to get bigger and better. The Wine Festival is Saturday, April 17th from 6:00pm until 11:00pm. There will be a lot of Texas wines for people to sample and many food and merchandise vendors as well. The Pecan Shed will be selling our Homemade Fudge (Chocolate Pecan, Raspberry Chocolate, and Strawberry Cheesecake) and our Fudge Dipped Strawberries at a Special Festival Price! Tickets for the event are only $25 and all the proceeds go to benefit the Senior Junior Forum's charities like Beacon Lighthouse for the Blind, First Step, and many more. For more information go to www.redriverwinefestival.com. We hope to see you all out there!!!
