From Dave Hewlett:


Above is a new CCO in Lewisville, TX on Oct 2. The ad in the trails is in error as the turn in time is to be 2PM. The promoter is new and did not know how to set up a CCO. Delora Goin(RR) is now working with him to get it going. There is a FAIR in conjunction with the CCO. The city requires that the meat be in a wrapper and the cooks should plan on having the store receipt. Strange but sometimes the cities do strange things. But in the past when they have had a local CCO with the fair no city person showed up to check. As the promoter is new he did not know to do Beans.

From Wappo:
Ray King has been hospitalized since Sept 13. He is getting better and hopes to be moved to rehab very shortly. Please keep Ray and Pat in your prayers.

From Gil Hewlett:

CORRECTION TO TERLINGUA TRAILS:
Roger Foltz is responsible for ice at TICC.

From Jim Ezell:
 I would like to encourage all the Pods to bring out their banners to display at their camps or up in the arena. The more color around the grounds, the more festive it is. If a pod does not have a banner, I would suggest they go to their local beer distributor and ask if they will make them one. The larger distributors have sophisticated printers that will make banners with logos, pictures, script or anything you want. There logo is also off to the side, so they get publicity also. It just takes a couple of 3.00 T poles and you are good to go anywhere. We have many interesting pod logos and I would like to see them at TICC.
