American Pistachio Growers celebrated the pistachio harvest by giving away pistachio sample packs at KMJ's 100th anniversary celebration at the Big Fresno Fair. KMJ's 100th Anniversary Party included comedian Paul Rodriguez and the Tower of Power, a rhythm and blues, soul and funk band, who were popular in the '60s and '70s.

American Pistachio Growers threw a pistachio party at the Clovis Farmer's Market in September. Chefs from the Institute of Technology created pistachio dishes including pistachio bark, pistachio cookies and pistachio pie for booth visitors to sample. Several local vendors joined the party by sharing their own pistachio treats.

Antioxidant by nature, American pistachios are rich in vitamins and mineral salts. Therefore they get along perfectly with the enthusiast in the long hours of snow sports.
