Next weekend is what I consider to be one of the premier eggfests--The Georgia Mountain EggFest--great setting and it gets bigger and better every year.   So if you are sitting on the fence, or on the couch, get your rear in gear and head to Hiawassee next weekend.  Stop by and say Hi, you can't miss the Tiger Paw apron and orange balloons.  

More info on the fest can be found here:

http://mountainegg.com/

We will be serving up some ABT's, Cast Iron Skillet Shrimp and Grits, Cuban Sandwiches and Thin Crust Grilled Pizzas.

See ya there.

    In there like swim wear. Can't wait. Bringing two non egg couples. This is my first egg fest. What should we expect for the pot luck? Should I bring some protein to cook or just some great sides? 
    Fish, Hunt, Cook....anything else?

    I will be there with Piney & Hotch. 

    Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

    Status- Standing by.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    I thought you had to buy tickets in advance so going last minute is not a good thing.

    You can still order tickets online, and you can buy on site day of for this one--unlike Eggtoberfest in Atlanta in October where it sells out a couple weeks in advance..

    My wife and I will be attending.  Hope to meet some folks.  Attended last year after I got my first egg!  It rained last year and it didn't stop the party.

    Well we are packed and loaded to the gills. I think we have everything but the sofa. This year we will be cooking a few quick and simple items with our home spun BBQ sauces.


    Last is to ice up the coolers and load all the goodies. Making one stop on the way, Lodge Manf in Pittsburg TN to pickup a few cast iron pieces. Will be heading out in the morning.

    @Piney give me a ring and I will give you a hand if needed.
