RESULTS and UPCOMINGS

“1st Ever Bob Conley Memorial Challenge. We in the Tyler area lost one of our valuable friends and cook on Nov. 18, 2009 when Bob Conley passed away. The Rose City Pod was discussing "How can we honor Bob's memory?" In planning for our Pod cookoff, we had discussed a competition for the four consecutive cookoffs in our immediate area. Bruce Young said "let's get Wendell to paint us a stove and we'll give it to the cook who gets the most points from the 4 cookoffs." This was discussed around our campfire in Terlingua as The Rose City Quad contest. Then Bruce came up with a different title and we had found our way. So we were off and running with this idea.

The rules are as follows: The cook who accumulates the most points from these 4 cookoffs - Half Moon Grill & Saloon on Feb. 27, Rose City Pod on March 6, Tyler Elks Lodge on March 13 and the Tyler Rotary Club on March 20 will be awarded the 1st Ever Bob Conley Memorial Challenge trophy. This will be a Wendell Rankin hand-painted stove commemorating the event. (Note: Since the Rose City Pod cookoff is a 2 day cookoff, only the Saturday cookoff will count toward points for this challenge).

Please join us in honoring Bob.” John Daniels
