From Lynn Murry:
 I just found out last night that our Oct 2, 2010 cookoff has been CANCELED.  This is the one inHernado, MS at the Barn.

From Ron Barnes:
Come out Saturday to the First Methodist Church in Hurst. We have the Uncle Sam's Eagle Scout Project cookoff with a noon turn-in. Entry is only $3 plus items to put in graduation baskets. These baskets are for abused children who completed counseling sessions with the Alliance for Children Center in Hurst. Recommended items can be gift cards, journals, pens and pencils, small stuffed animals, small puzzles and games, picture frames, etc. Cash donations to purchase these items are also welcome. The church is located near the corner of Pipeline and Precinct Line Road in Hurst. Take the driveway north from Pipeline to the upper grounds; that is where the cooking and judging will take place. Since this is for children and we will be on church grounds, we ask that alcohol not be consumed on property. Come on out and support this worthy cause and, if you are still looking, get those last chili points you need for Terlingua. Hope to see you there!
