RESULTS and UPCOMINGS

Last minute change. Please note: The Odessa Westside Volunteer Fire Department lost their site for the cookoff scheduled for this Saturday, August 16th and a number of out-of-town cooks had planned to attend, The cookoff will have an emergency change of location. The cookoff site has been changed to the Odessa Chuck Wagon Gang barn behind the Ector County Coliseum at 42nd Street and Andrews Highway in Odessa. As the “Gang” will be there cooking for one of their “feeds” that evening, we will have plenty of judges in captivity. If anyone has any questions, Patsy Childress can be reached by cell at 432-425-4473. A sign will be posted at the Allbright & Associates Yard indicating the change of location and contact numbers.
