“We have been working to restore a theater here in George West, TX for several years. It will become a performing arts center and will showcase various performers, including sets during the annual George West Storyfest. We are in the running for a Pepsi grant, but will only be successful if enough people vote for us. You can vote once a day, every day, until the end of February. Please follow the link below and vote so this can become a reality. Feel free to pass this on to your friends as well.

We greatly appreciate your help!” Becky Allen

RESULTS and UPCOMINGS

“What a GREAT weekend! I have to start off by thanking all of the chili cooks, monitors, judging and tally crew as well as The Gingerbread House volunteers and sponsors. Without the help of so many wonderful people, our cook off wouldn't have been such a success! Thank you again to everyone - your support is invaluable! How about some results????
