Red River Wine Festival 2010

The Pecan Shed had a booth at the 6th Annual Red River Wine Festival on Saturday night. The event took place at the J.S. Bridwell Ag Center from 6pm until 11pm and it was a blast! I believe I heard over 2,000 people came through the doors to sample Texas wines, unique beers, and lots of yummy food items (I loved the Double Dave's pizza). They also heard the Jay Hollis Band and there were tons of great merchandise vendors there as well.

The Pecan Shed booth sold over 200 Fudge Dipped Strawberries (in fact we ran out before the night was over) and lots of our delicious homemade fudge. We brought four different flavors...Raspberry Chocolate (Fudge Flavor of the Month for April), Strawberry Cheesecake (Fudge Flavor of the Month for May), Chocolate Pecan, and Plain Chocolate. All were a big success.

We also donated to the Silent Auction a gift certificate for 50 Fudge Dipped Strawberries. I believe the winning bid was $70.

We want to thank the Senior Junior Forum for once again inviting us back this year to be apart of such a fun event that raises money that goes to great causes like the Beacon Lighthouse for the Blind, First Step, MSU Scholarships, and so much more!

The entire staff had so much fun and we hope to be asked back next year. If you were unable to attend the Wine Festival please mark your calendars for next year...the 7th Annual Red River Wine Festival will be April 16, 2011!
