“WOW… THE WEEKEND IS OVER… 2 CHILI COOK OFF’S NOW IN THE HISTORY BOOKS!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT TO SUPPORT OUR COOK OFFS! THE WEEKEND WAS A GREAT SUCCESS! WE HAD A RECORD NUMBER OF COOKS AND A GOOD TURN OUT FOR SPECTATOR AND TASTERS.
OUR VERY DEAR FRIENDS FROM FT. SMITH, GUY & ERMA CAME OVER EARLY TO HELP US GET EVERYTHING TOGETHER! MARK & MELISSA BROUGHT OVER 2 MOTORHOMES TO PROVIDE EXTRA BEDS FOR ALL OUR GUESTS. THANKS TO ALL OUR FRIENDS FROM ARKANSAS AND KANSAS THAT MADE THE TRIP OVER TO PARTY WITH US FOR THE WEEKEND. WHO BTW … KICKED OUR BUTTS IN CHILI!
AS ALL MEMORIAL WEEKENDS WOULD HAVE IT, WE HAD A COUPLE OF SHORT RAIN STORMS… BUT IT DIDN’T SPOIL ANY OF OUR FUN.

WE HAD A SURPRISE ENTERTAINMENT SHOW FROM THE HULA DANCERS… HUMMMM YEA THAT WAS “SPECIAL” THERE ARE PICTURES ALL OVER FACE BOOK….

AND WHAT COOK OFF WOULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT THE “PANTY POLE”? THANKS FOR THAT STEVE G…… AS WELL AS THE MIDNIGHT ‘+’ HOT TUB HOPPERS….. THEY WENT FROM THE NEIGHBORS HOT TUB (JAMI & AARON’S) TO OUR’S BLOWING THE CIRCUITS ON BOTH. EEWWWWW NOT SURE WHAT ELSE THEY HAD GOING ON BUT WHEN WE DRAINED OURS AND IT WAS QUITE NASTY….. EVERETT HAD TO SCRUB THE WALLS, SANITIZE IT, AND FILL WITH CLEAN WATER…

OH YEA, I CANT FORGET THAT SOMETIME DURING THAT MIDNIGHT ‘+’ ESCAPADE THE TOILET LID GOT BROKEN, TWICE. ALL I KNOW IS WHEN I SAW IT THE NEXT DAY THE LID WAS SMALLER THAN THE TOILET….. I ASKED “NO” QUESTIONS.
THEY ALL DID MANAGE TO COOK BOTH DAYS…DON’T KNOW HOW! OUR SPECIAL GUEST ENTERTAINERS “RUSTY & JIM” PUT ON A REALLY GOOD EVENING SHOW SATURDAY NIGHT. THEY PICKED AND SANG THROUGH THE RAIN SHOWERS. EVERYONE ENJOYED THE MUSIC.
