On August 31st, Slaton Texas hosted the 2nd annual Banana Pudding Festival. The event consisted of multiple flavors of banana pudding to try, including Fireball Boozy Banana, ’The King’ peanut butter banana, and Cherry Delight. Patrons purchased ‘pudding passes’ for $25, allowing unlimited access to pudding treats. Vendors and food trucks were also available for customers. The event was fun for the whole community with live performers, a giant bubble pit, and an Elvis impersonator. Part of the proceeds will go toward local charities in Slaton. One Portales local said, “we plan on going again next year.” Keep an eye out in 2025 for this unique and entertaining local event!
