Pecan Festival in the Grove
Our local CBS affiliate, WTVR6, has already committed to being our presenting sponsor so we will have more media coverage than we did last year and we have more of their talent out participating in activities during the festival. This year, we will have more time to get media coverage across the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond. The 2017 Pecan Festival will offer more food, drink, crafts, children’s activities, entertainment and music. The popular Richmond-based Trongone Band, which performs a mixture of southern Rock ‘n’ Soul and American Jam is the headlining band. The Remnants will be performing for the second year and Sweet Justice and Susan Greenbaum will make their first appearances performing at the festival. On Saturday, Nikki Dee Ray will emcee a pet costume contest. On Sunday, there will be three pageants and a pecan cook off. The grove will be packed with vendors selling products ranging from homemade salsa, fine soaps, jewelry, baked goods and clothing. Anything pecan related will also be in high demand! Last year we had over 100 vendors, this year there will be more than 175.
