TEXAS ICS STATE

The Texas State was held today in San Antonio Texas at Cowboys Dance Hall.

Cooks came early and stayed late as they all wanted to impart to the organizers how great it was to have a 2 day back to back ICS event in Texas! The Non Profit,Soldiers Angels, Gerri and Jim Riley did EVERYTHING they could to help the cooks today and should be commended for their efforts!

.

It was a beautiful but hot day with temps in the high 90's.

Since we were chief judge and scorekeeper today, we don't know the exact numbers,but they were good.

.

I need to say something....the Texas cooks really rolled out the hospitality to Kat and I and offered us anything we needed. It was great and almost felt like home. We were very happy to cook with Bruce and Cindy Reed Wilkins in their tent! We would highly recommend this B2B to any cook when the new date is announced for next year.
