    Athens Texas Eggfest sets the bar for locations as an Eggfest Cook. If you wanted to get your feet wet and show off your cooking skills...Make Athens the place. Amazing location with support from start to finish.
    Organized by a great group and supports The Texas Freshwater Fisheries.

    Thank you,

    Still no word from the Texas Fresh Water Fisheries contact.
    Sent out email to our Texas BGE distributor as well.

    I saw what weekend it's been held in the past and we reserved a place on Lake Palestine for a few nights.  GF is flying out from California too so I can show her around the community where we are settling.  Sure hope it didn't fall between the cracks.

    With the changing of the guards in Athens, and no other contact since or web site updates...was more concerned it was not going to happen at all.
    Thanks Hotch.
