From Mikie McGairity:
Thanks to all the hearty souls that participated in the McHog-In events this past week-end. We had more darn fun than is allowed and proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt that chili cooks can cook just about anything.

The weather was chilly (we even had sunshine and hail at one point) but we all stayed toasty cooking in the shop. There were lots of laughs, some great food and lots of fond memories for Nick and me. The Cottondale VFD is ecstatic with the turnout and has already enlisted for next year.

JoAnn Scott is currently hospitalized in Midland. Get well really soon JoAnn.

Remember Dave and Kathy Boone in your prayers. They are in Houston and are awaiting results from some tests.

The deadline guaranteeing major goodie bag items to Texas Men’s State cooks has passed, but we should have plenty. To be sure you get these items, get your entry in soon.We will have an open beans competition (for men only) at TMS this year. Entry will be $10 and it will be 100% payback. That should provide a pretty good payday for some lucky cooks.
