I want to thank Leroy and Judy for all the time, labor, money, and hand holding they provided me from last September thru today. The Salado Egghead Gathering could not have come off without them.
Also to all the cooks who gave of their time and resources to make Saturday a very special day for 206 Eggheads in the Village of Salado.
As well as all that called and offered words of wisdom I thank you. It meant a lot that you took the time to help me put this on.

    Looks like it was a great time. We are off to Florida for our first fest in a week or so. If you do it next year we might come down your way.

    Mickey,
    You and Linda, Leroy and Judy, and all the towns folk of Salado, including the Mayor for proclaiming the great weather orchestrated a fantastic event. Special kudos to Russ and Keith's Ace Hardware for OUTSTANDING efforts and braving "a strange new world" of the Eggheads :woohoo:
    You have a TEXAS jewel of a town and the local merchants are charming as well.
    CONGRATS for an OUTSTANDING job B)
    All the EGGHEADS who attended echoed these words as well.
    Next year we will be first in line to book at the Inn :)

    What a great job you did! Amazing! I hope this becomes an annual event, we'll be there for sure.

    We ended up with 6 guests that had never been to an eggfest, and they could not believe how organized and wonderful it was! They also wanted to know the date for next year's event so they can mark their calendars. :whistle:

    Mickey, you had a fantastic idea and brought it to life. Congrats on the success and thank you, Linda, Leroy and Judy for making it so great!!!!!!!!
