This is Houston's first Eggfest, but the Dealer, Ace Hardware, is going all out to make it a whopper.
They call it the Space City Eggfest. Catchy name...
And it will be held in Old Town Spring, a quaint little shopping village with a lot of history. http://oldtownspring.com/
Ace Hardware is really big into participating in fund raising events and they know how to put a plan together. And they aren't bashful about asking some big-time businesses and personalities to get involved because the proceeds from this one goes to the Texas Children's Hospital, one of the most deserving hospitals in America, and for very good reason. They perform miracles every day for children who have no other place to go for the care they need.
So we would like to see a couple of thousand Tasters stopping by to see the Funny Looking Green Egg everyone seems to talk about all over town. And they will be wanting to try something cooked on the Egg. And some will ask questions about the Big Green Egg. Heck! You guys know the drill for Eggfest Cooks - Feed 'em and Fan 'em, and send 'em home happy.
The area where we will be cooking is set up so we Cooks can have special access with our vehicles and park very close to our tents. There's electricity (but bring an extension cord). We don't believe it will rain but it doesn't matter. We've cooked and served in the rain before. Didn't hurt us. If anything, it made us tougher...
There are some generous gift cards and other goodies for registered cooks. So that's a plus.
The Tasters will only have a 5 hour window to eat everything we cook. So it's not like we have to work all day. Yes, there's a Cook's After Party, as well as a Meet and Greet on Friday night if you can make it.
Now is a good time to buy Taster tickets, or if you would prefer to Cook, go here to register to cook. (It's more fun as a Cook):

Yes, it's worth your time....

Judy, I'm dying to visit the Coop some time. I love seeing pics of it whenever Leroy posts his cooks.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

I must say, the space city eggfest web site is very impressively professional. Makes me want to eat my screen. Sorry I can't make it!

And I just found out this evening that 600-1000 folks are expected.
Oh crap. Should have started planning back when @Hotch did.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
