Special to the Courier
Camp Verde's annual Wine, Pecan and Antique Festival will take place next weekend in the municipality's downtown area in conjunction with the Fort Verde State Historic Park's commemoration of the Buffalo Soldiers.
On Feb. 13, folks are encouraged to attend the event and bring a pecan pie to share.
The best tasting pie will win a gift basket with books and other items from the Fort Verde State Historic Park's bookstore. There also will be three-legged and potato sack races in the afternoon.
The festival will be held downtown in the community center (see accompanying map). It will feature wines from the Verde Valley and Arizona, pecan pies and desserts, booths loaded with antiques and collectibles, agricultural demonstrations, a car show, art, vendors, music, a nut contest and more.
