Pecan Day is the anniversary of the planting by George Washington of pecan trees at Mount Vernon. The trees were a gift to Washington from Thomas Jefferson, who had planted a few pecan trees from the southern US at Monticello, VA. The pecan, native to southern North America, is sometimes called “America’s own nut.” First cultivated by Native Americans, it has been transplanted to other continents but has failed to achieve wide use or popularity outside the US.
When looking for ways to promote annual food-related events like Pecan Day, the images and ad designs in the Creative Library can provide immediate inspiration for local promotions that are the recipe for ad sales.
