Do you like pecans (how long do pecans last?)? Do you like supporting underserved parts of town? Do you like fun and games? Do you like Food? Raffles?
If you answered "Yes" to any of the questions above then you might want to check out the TSSF (The Skip Shockley Foundation) Pecan Harvest Festival this coming October 17, 2021 2pm to 6pm at 3105 Pine St, Dallas, TX 75215-3949 (Opportunity Park)
This is a FREE educational event that will feature the history of pecans in Southern Dallas. Walk around and shop local food vendors and artisans in a location filled with fun pecan facts.
Aside from the food, there's going to be fun activities like an art contest for the kids, a raffle, there's going to be a dj with live music, hoola hoop contests, a social distanced cake walk, and more!
P.S. For safety reasons, masks will be required at the event!
This event is brought to us by The Skip Shockley Foundation, a charitable organization with a mission to empower communities to create, build, nurture, and sustain a healthy future by providing services to further nurture education, economic, mental and social development needs of the community.
Other sponsors include the Oak Cliff Veggie Project which will be providing fresh produce to giveaway to the attendees. Comissary is Very Necessary will be providing FREE wellness checks for the community. Aids Healthcare Foundation will be providing FREE Rapid HIV Testing. Volunteering While Black will be providing the music and entertainment. The AFIYA Center, Not My Son DFW, and Daughters Across The Diaspora have also sponsored the event so you're sure that this is definitely a cause to support!
And of course, our friends over at Slow Food DFW for sponsoring the event and letting us know!
The event is still a couple of weeks away and we will be updating this post as more details come in. But if you or anyone you know wants to become a vendor or a sponsor, reach out directly to them through their social media page here: https://www.facebook.com/skipshockleyfoundation
