"O Canada"

Dad just returned from a trip to Canada as a representative of "U.S. Pecans". Dad is currently serving as the President of the Texas Pecan Growers Association. He along with other members of the TPGA and some Georgia pecan growers went to Canada to promote the use of pecans.

While the temperatures were extremely cold (Dad said breathing the outside air was like having knives poke your lungs) I do think the reception of the Canadian business men and women was very warm.

Dad spent two days discussing the health benefits of pecans, the many uses for pecans, the shipping capabilities, and storage options as well as many more topics. Hopefully soon we will have Texas pecans heading North to our Canadian neighbors.
