Sweet potato or pumpkin? The Thanksgiving pie debate

FLOWOOD, Miss. — They’re both round, orange and probably bad for your health, but which is the better Thanksgiving dessert: pumpkin or sweet potato pie? For most people, the answer likely depends on where they’re from. The two Thanksgiving favorites have more in common than not. They're similar in color, taste and texture, and derived from European carrot pie. Those similarities make them all the easier to compare. “Pumpkin,” said Lori Robinson, a customer at Sugar Magnolia Takery in Flowood, Miss. “My mom cooks it every Thanksgiving, Christmas, every time. It's way better than sweet potato.”

Sackmanns, Dent named to Agriculture Hall of Fame

MOSES LAKE — Two local agricultural powerhouses were named to the Moses Lake Ag Hall of Fame Oct. 21: cattle and hay growers Debbie and Sid Sackmann and aviation advocate, and bison grower Tom Dent, who also represents Washington’s 13th district in the state House of Representatives. Debbie and Sid Sackmann were introduced at the ceremony by state Sen. Judy Warnick, also of Washington’s 13th district. “Throughout his career, Sid has served on numerous agricultural committees, representing the farmers of the Columbia Basin with integrity and perfection and passion,” Warnick said. “He spent more than 15 years on the Hay Growers Association Board, and 19 years on the Farm Credit Services Board, in addition to his and Debbie’s service with Moses Lake 4-H and FFA Booster Committee, A highlight of his hay growing career was being named the 2014 Grant County Fair Hay King … Sid and Debbie could often be found calling on local businesses and collecting donations to support the 4- H and FFA livestock sale at the Grant County Fair. Bidding on local youth projects was Sid’s favorite part of the work, and Debbie and I were right there keeping the budget on track.”

Northwest Hort Expo coming to Wenatchee Dec. 8-10

The Northwest Hort Expo has outgrown its space. “Historically, this show has only been in the (Wenatchee) Convention Center,” said Event Coordinator Dawn Milne. “Now we’ve opened it up into the (Town) Toyota Center as well. Typically, we used to only have 150 exhibitors, but now that we have more room, we’re getting some new types of industry people because we have more space.” The two locations are about a mile apart, Milne said, so the expo is offering a shuttle to get attendees back and forth. “The shuttle is also huge for parking,” Milne said. “The Convention Center is a little shy on parking, so we have additional parking over at the Toyota Center, and they just go back and forth between the exhibit venues.”
