Weekly road work update

Work will continue on Bellechase through next week, as cement will be poured Monday and Tuesday. Weather permitting, chip sealing will take place Thursday and Friday. The following Monday (Aug. 26), work is expected to progress to Woodlawn, where its current surface will be milled then cement will be poured. That application will be completed by the end of the week.

Street Dance to feature Vintage Yell

The Pecan Plantation Labor Day Street Dance will feature up-and-coming recording artists The Vintage Yell, Saturday, Aug. 31, rounding out the final club event of the summer.

The Vintage Yell is a duo from North Texas, whose sound can be described as soulful Americana, but goes much deeper than that. Recently signed to Mesquite Street Records, The Vintage Yell has opened for prominent Texas bands including Kin Faux and Whiskey Myers. The Vintage Yell will perform from 6-9 p.m. on the clubhouse steps.

Look for more details and schedules next week for the final PPOA event of the summer!

Pet of the Week

Meet Alexander Purejoy Riley Horton, Pecan Plantation's Pets of the Week! This good boy belongs to Jackie Horton, or rather she belongs to him.

This week, Executive Chef Jordan Ray's specials include birds of the air, animals of the land and creatures of the sea! (He's pretty much touching all the bases there.)

The first offering is a succulent sous vide and seared duck breast with a grape and port wine gastrique that pairs so nicely with duck, you'd be daffy not to try it. Side items for this delicious creation include charred tomato gnocchi and green beans. Next, he has prepared a wonderful New York strip and scallop combination. The strip is cooked perfectly and topped with a rich demi glace before it is teamed with a pair of fresh sea scallops. The classic combination comes with a salad and a baked potato.
