From Earl Who? Gorham:
Tomball HEB has asked me to pass on a request from the Tomball Health Dept.

They ask that all cooks bring hand sanitizer and the usual wash water for your utensils.

This cookoff is getting a great showing from the community and sponsors.  They are recieving silent auction items, FM 93Q Country radio station is coming out, they have a live band coming.  Coca Cola and Pepsi are both bringing out trailers along with the HEB soft drink and HEB ice cream trailers. They have a lot of vendors and local groups coming out to participate.  The store manager and the cookoff coordinator are already planning on doing this again next year.

So come out and enjoy and support these people.

Thanks, EARL WHO?

It is just days away and I am talking about the 2010 “Texas Lady’s State Championship." I will be running the Silent Auction again this year. I want to thank all that brought items out last year in support of the auction. I would like to make this the biggest year yet and I can only do that with your help. I will be collecting items for the Silent Auction starting at 8:30 am Saturday morning on the pavilion. Everyone start loading items in the motor home now and bring them out. Thanks for every ones help.

NOTE:  I am not sure what happen yesterday with the CCOs for this weekend.  They were all there and when I posted them, most of them disappeared.  I am going to post all of them today.  Sorry about the problem.
