Over the past three years we have become fondly attached to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) weekend as our preferred Eggfest date. So naturally, I suggested we do the same again this year, and since March 15th is closest, it's the date I will push for. Hey, I'm Irish/Scottish! What do you expect?
Meanwhile, we continue to get hits on our blog site to the tune of about 300 a month. Someone likes us and keeps coming back to see what we Eggheads are up to. Don't you just love it when people all over the world take an interest in us...
See you in Salado
Salado Eggfest 2013 Was Wonderful - Again...
This was the third Salado Eggfest and it was the best yet. The crowd was larger, the weather better, the food tastier, the park prettier, and the Village of Salado more welcoming.
Mickey has become a Master at holding Eggfests, and Russ and his crew at Keith Ace Hardware did an outstanding job of setting up the Demo Eggs for the Cooks, and operating the Big Green Egg Accessory Store.
The Eggfest, the Meet & Greet party Friday night and the After Party Saturday night went off without a hitch.
And what can I say about the Cooks... You guys were fantastic! Not only were there lots of simple but tasty dishes, there were a lot of very creative dishes that one would not expect to see outside a professional kitchen. We hope to gather recipes from everyone and post them on this site for all to try.
I believe this may be a first for any Eggfest, but we actually had some Tasters fly in by helicopter. And yes, it was Mickey who made the arrangements for where they could land near the Park. Very cool...
Of course, being St. Patrick's Day weekend and Salado being a host town for a major Scottish Clan Gathering each year, a few of us wore our kilts and Irish Green.
And here's a wee bit of news: Our blog site has now grown to 27,000 hits from almost 50 countries. People around the world are taking a close look at what we Eggheads do for entertainment. And they keep coming back for more. Don't you just love being part of it all...
I tried to capture the moment by collecting all the photos I could and assemble them into a video which I posted on YouTube. Take a look...

Salado Eggfest 2013 Set For March 16th
Once again, Mickey performed his magic before the Village Leaders and received their blessing for us to hold our Salado Eggfest in Pace Park at the pavilion on Saturday, March 16, 2013.
Of course, as we all know, the Eggfest will unofficially begin on Friday the 15th for many as they arrive from points all over the country, even just down the road. They will want to get themselves established, tour the Village and then join with others for a few hours at what promises to be a very nice Pre-Fest party. Details will be forthcoming but you can bet there will be food and drink. I think Mickey made it a rule...
So mark your calendars for the weekend of March 15th - 17th and start thinking about where you will stay, what you will cook, what to bring and even who to bring with you. You know it will be a lot of fun.
Oh, and if you are so inclined, St. Patrick's Green and Kilts are welcome dress, no matter that you are not the least bit Celtic.
See you in Salado...

Salado Eggfest 2013 Date Almost Set
Mickey has a lot to do before the official date of the next Salado Eggfest is confirmed, but it appears that March 16, 2013 is the best date. It's the same weekend as St Patrick's Day, so that should work out perfectly for those of us who want to scoot around in Kilts like last year.
I'll update you on this blog and on the Green Eggers Forum. Those who provided email addresses in last year's registration will also receive an email reminder.
I'm sure it will be another great Eggfest so mark your calendars now so you don't sign up for something else on that weekend.
See you in Salado.

It's Time To Start Getting Ready For The Salado Eggfest
We only have a few weeks before the Salado Eggfest, so it's time for us to start the wheels turning. That means arranging for the Park in Salado, arranging for tables and chairs, arranging for door prizes and a thousand other things that need to be done to make sure it will be another fun-filled weekend for everyone who attends.
Fortunately, Mickey has already done most of the leg work but we still need for attendees to make plans and to let us know you're coming, and whether or not you will be cooking. We will be asking for registration in advance like last year because it really makes it a lot easier on everyone involved in doing the planning and setup. The registration form is below.
Meanwhile, with a little luck and some finger-crossing, we should have great weather. The Farmer's Almanac isn't being real specific but apparently the weather patterns lean toward warmer and dryer than in decades past. Let's hope it's not too dry like 2011.
Anyway, last year's "Gathering" was great and we are looking forward to this one being even better. '
Oh by the way, over thirty countries have checked out our web site and continue to do so on a daily basis. We've had well over 10,000 hits from people wanting to know "What the heck is going on in Salado that smells so good."
Here's the Attendance information we need.
Thanks
