Those of you that follow the Ladies PCRA catfish circuit know that the national finals in Memphis, TN were canceled due to the flooding. Harvey West has made arrangements for another Ladies competition to be held during his July 2-3 chili cook off at his pecan plantation in Telephone, TX. There are some significant fish in the Red River and the water level is more suitable for competition. All ladies that qualified at the Ezell Relay For Life Cook Off have a first round bye at Harvey's event. Come out for chili, charity, fun, fireworks and fin thrashing fury at West Pecan Farms, a Friend of CASI.
It's Wednesday and time for me to post the CCOs for this weekend. It's going to be a hot weekend again here in West TX, but we had wet stuff come out of the sky. What a welcome.
