PRICKLY PEAR PACHANGA
The 12th Annual Prickley Pear Pachanga will be held October 10, 2009, the Saturday night of Columbus Day weekend. Pachanga is a Spanish idiom for "big party." The Prickly Pear Pachanga is a local celebration of fall, of the beginning of hunting seasons, and of our most bountiful asset, the prickly pear cactus.
Festival organizers (Sanderson Arts & Education Alliance) hopes to return the event to its roots, the celebration and education of our natural desert heritage.
The main event is the Prickly Pear Gala, a dinner traditionally including appetizers, Texas wines, a gourmet meal, a selection of deserts, and good conversation. Proceeds from the Silent Auction supplement the costs of bringing cultural entertainment and educational events to the Community throughout the year.
The Silent Auction and Annual Dinner will be held Saturday evening, October 10, 2009, 7pm, to be served in the St. James Hall. Tables of 6 or individual tickets ($20) may be purchased from any member of the Arts & Education Alliance; or by email contact at Pachanga Ticket Sales.
