TERLINGUA — The 34th Annual Black-Eyed Pea Off (cookoff) will be held in the Terlingua Ghostown on Wednesday, January 1, 2025. Participants need to bring their best black-eyed peas for judging and to share with spectators.
Award and prizes will be given for first, second and third place. Turn-in time is 2 p.m. sharp with a $10 entry fee. Peas may be cooked onsite or off.
Spectators can start the year off with a bowl of “good-luck” peas for a $10 (or more) donation — it includes a bowl, spoon and cornbread until it runs out. There will be local music, local art and a “Hot Date” raffle (room and/or dinner). All proceeds will benefit continuing education scholarships for Terlingua School graduates.
