In Fort Bend County, the weeks leading up to the holidays are filled with craft fairs and gift markets – but none quite as beloved as the annual Pecan Harvest Festival. This year’s celebration on November 22 brought nearly 4,000 people to historic downtown Richmond, where vendors lined the streets with everything from pecan brittle to pet accessories.
