The Nacogdoches Beefsteak Dinner, hosted by the Nacogdoches County Historical Foundation is only a week away! This is an evening that you won’t soon forget and tickets and tables are still available for purchase.
Our Beefsteak event will start at 7 pm on Friday, October 21st; tickets are $75 each and are available at the Nacogdoches Convention & Visitors Bureau, M & S Pharmacy and from any Nacogdoches County Historical Foundation Board member. Attendees will get hearty portions of meat, bread and beer and will be given a commemorative apron to wear during the event and take home with them. The Nacogdoches Beefsteak dinner directly benefits the restoration of the historic Zion Hill Baptist Church.
The Zion Hill Baptist Church was built in 1914 by Diedrich Rulfs and has stood as a pillar of the community for 102 years. The exterior was restored by the Nacogdoches County Historical Foundation and the church was later turned over to the City of Nacogdoches. Once funds are raised and the interior is restored, the church will be opened to the public as a multipurpose building that houses exhibits on the history of the African American Community, the congregation of Zion Hill Church, the architect Diedrich Rulfs and the history of the Zion Hill Historic District. It will also be available for events, meetings and community gatherings.
Not only does the Nacogdoches Beefsteak have the best menu around, there will also be great entertainment by Sam Shupak. Our five course dinner is being supplied by several great restaurants and organizations; Auntie Pastas, Clear Springs, CC’s Smokehouse, Butcher Boys, Nacogdoches Medical Center, Pilgrim’s Pride, Ralph & Kacoo’s, SFASU Hospitality Administration, R & K Distributors, Wing Stop, Newk’s and the Nacogdoches Jaycees.
This inaugural Beefsteak is sure to be an evening to remember benefiting a building that cannot be forgotten.
