Time to get cracking
Monday, December 12, 2022 by Tai Moses
Lamar Senior Activity Center in Central Austin is hosting its annual nut sale and nut-cracking event. You read that right: it’s a nut-cracking event. The center has several old-time mechanical pecan-cracking machines that have to be seen to be believed. The machines hoist the pecans into the maw of the machine on a tiny conveyor belt and crack them one at a time. You can bring your own pecans to get them cracked, 50 cents a pound, up to 20 pounds, or buy fresh nuts on-site. Mondays-Thursdays, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. and Friday, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. 2874 Shoal Crest Ave.
