Salado Update # 3 - Mini Egg Door prizes

It looks like we will have 4 Mini Eggs to give away as door prizes this year, along with a few other items.

As most of you know, Mini Eggs are wonderful little ceramic cookers with just enough size to make them fun and convenient to cook for two.  But some very creative cooks have taken them up a notch and produced some wonderful dishes that rival the larger Eggs in type and flavor of food.

If you want to see just how versatile this little marvel is, take a look at some of these videos:

So if you want a chance to win, you  must register get a door prize ticket.

You can register in Salado on the day of the Fest, but it's much easier to register in advance.  Just go here and follow the easy on-line registration instructions:

See you in Salado.

Salado Update # 2 - Demo Eggs

Eggfests are a popular way for Eggheads to get together with other Eggheads to have some fun, but it's also a great way to purchase your first Big Green Egg, or perhaps a second or third Big Green Egg.

The way it's done is the Host Dealer (in this case, Keith's Ace Hardware in Salado) will offer a discount price to anyone who wishes to purchase one of the 'Demo Eggs' used at the Salado Eggfest.  The Egg is new and will be used only for the Eggfest.  You have to commit to the purchase ahead of time and pick up the Egg immediately after the Eggfest.

Demo Eggs are very popular and there are only a limited number available, so if you plan to purchase one you will need to contact Russ Allen at Keith Ace Hardware in Salado as soon as possible.  Here's his phone number and email address.

Phone: 254-947-4008       Fax: 254-947-4010

This year the 2013 discount price is as follows:




Large Egg w/ nest, lump, platesetter and firestarters
$745

Mini Egg w/ nest
$399

Russ went on to say, "I will discount any of the OTHER sizes that I have in stock at the time of the Fest 10%. I am not ordering extra inventory of the slower moving sizes so first come first served."

Salado Eggfest Update # 1

Okay folks, it's 2013 and we've pretty much gotten over the holidays.  So now we begin to prepare for the next fun event - the Salado Eggfest.

Already 75 people have registered, 26 of them registered as Cooks.  That alone is enough to have a good party, but you can bet there will be a lot more registering during the next few weeks.


Which reminds me, as of today, January 5th, there's only 69 days left. So be thinking seriously about scheduling it on your calendar, and registering early to avoid the stampede.

See you in Salado
