We have been described as "cult-like" in our enthusiasm for the "Egg" and we cherish that title. Not only is "Egg'n" fun, it produces unbelievably delicious food. Eggfests are informal events where Eggheads gather to share food, recipes and friendship without the stress of competing for awards or recognition. We simply enjoy each other's company.
The next Salado Eggfest is in Salado, Texas on March 14, 2015.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger26125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712072395763076138.post-23844100477947473292016-02-18T18:52:00.003-06:002017-01-23T10:46:11.050-06:00Cook and Taster Registration InfoI've decided that I will no longer maintain this blog for the Salado Eggfest, but I will leave it up for the time being for those checking here for information.<br />
<br />
Yes, there will be a Salado Eggfest 2017 and it will be held March 11, 2017.<br />

It will be held at Pace Park in Salado.<br />

We knew there would be changes as someone else took on the responsibility and burden of organizing it and thought we could adjust to them.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, there was a tragic accident that resulted in the death of one of the key players and co-owners of The Inn on the Creek, the host B&B and primary site for pre and post Eggfest parties.<br />
<br />
Add to that the less than enthusiastic attitude of the new manager at the host dealer, and it was looking like the Salado Eggfest would be discontinued.<br />
<br />
But earlier today I learned that the Salado Eggfest will go on. Will at Inn on the Creek, and Ace Hardware of Salado will make it happen.<br />
<br />
The date, Saturday, March 12, 2016<br />
<br />
All the details will have to come from the new organizers. Like Mickey, I'm stepping back and letting someone else run the show. But I plan be there to cook and have fun.<br />
<br />
So this will probably be my last entry in this blog regarding Salado Eggfest updates.<br />
<br />
See you in Salado.<br />

I don't know.<br />
<br />
No one has contacted me about a firm date or what kind of agenda, or any of the many details necessary for me to report them here. <br />
<br />
So, like everyone else, I wait.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712072395763076138.post-28091856268747434492014-10-30T03:06:00.000-05:002015-04-01T07:36:45.867-05:00The 2015 Salado Eggfest Was Fantastic<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><i><u>The 2015 Salado Eggfest is now History</u></i></span></b><br />
<br />
From all the comments I've heard and read, it was the best one yet. Although I missed most of it due to a really bad cold, I did get to see a lot of people and even cooked for a couple of hours, but I had to call it a day and return to my hotel room. <br />
<br />
The weather was perfect and we had a great turnout, probably in excess of 400. I heard many reports that the food was outstanding. <br />
<br />
Mickey announced that this would be his last year to organize the Salado Eggfest. Now that he's retired he wants a less complicated life. He has certainly earned it and has done a wonderful job of making it one of the top Eggfests in the Country. <br />
<br />
I'm sure the name of the person assuming the job of managing the Eggfest will be announced soon and I will post it here. Hayden Coburn, Store Manager at Keith Ace Hardware, the Host Dealer, is the likely person but we'll have to wait to see. This was his first Eggfest and he sure appeared to be enjoying it.<br />
<br />
And if tradition holds true for the Salado Eggfest date for 2016, it will likely be either March 12th or March 19th.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
More news will be forthcoming about hotel and B&B rooms, door prizes, registration, etc, but we've still got a few days to work out the details. Those days go quickly too.<br />
<br />
The best thing is it's still free to all. <br />
<br />
And we will have four Mini Eggs and maybe some other goodies going home with someone.<br />
<br />
Again, it's not too early to start thinking about what you plan to cook or where you will spend the weekend: hotel or B&B or RV Park. Remember also, that Salado has many wonderful shops and restaurants to visit while you're in town.<br />
<br />
I know March 15th is the <em><strong>Ides of March</strong></em>, and some of you will be drawn to wearing your togas, but it is also <em><strong>St. Patrick's Day</strong></em> Weekend and perfect for wearing your kilt or Irish Green. Of course, other forms of dress are the accepted norm, but where's the fun in being normal???<br />
<br />
Come on, plan your March 15th weekend to be in Salado, either as a cook or as a taster. What better way to spend it?
<br />
<br />
Oh, and you can feel free to forward information about the Salado Eggfest to your friends and family, near and far. It's a great opportunity for a family gathering.<br />
<br />
Here's the link to this site: <a href="http://saladoeggheadgathering.blogspot.com/">http://saladoeggheadgathering.blogspot.com/</a><br />
<br />
And while you're at it, check out the new <em>Salado Forum</em>. Yes, we now have our own Forum. <a href="http://www.greeneggers.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=229&func=showcat&catid=19&Itemid=229">Click Here</a> or the link is at the top of the Links List to the right.<br />
<br />
If you have been thinking about buying another Egg, you might want to look into the Demo Egg pricing. These are Large Eggs that will have been used once at the Eggfest for about six hours. That qualifies them for a discounted price, but you have to buy them ahead of the Eggfest and take them home immediately after the Eggfest. You can read about how to buy them, and other Eggs that have been discounted here: <a href="http://demoeggs.blogspot.com/">http://demoeggs.blogspot.com/</a><br />
<br />
Stay tuned as the Eggcitement builds...<br />
<br />
See you in
Salado. <br />

The crowd was larger, the weather better, the food tastier, the park prettier, and the Village of Salado more welcoming.<br />
<br />
Mickey has become a Master at holding Eggfests, and Russ and his crew at Keith Ace Hardware did an outstanding job of setting up the Demo Eggs for the Cooks, and operating the Big Green Egg Accessory Store.<br />
<br />
The Eggfest, the Meet & Greet party Friday night and the After Party Saturday night went off without a hitch.<br />
<br />
And what can I say about the Cooks... You guys were fantastic! Not only were there lots of simple but tasty dishes, there were a lot of very creative dishes that one would not expect to see outside a professional kitchen. We hope to gather recipes from everyone and post them on this site for all to try. <br />
<br />
I believe this may be a first for any Eggfest, but we actually had some Tasters fly in by helicopter. And yes, it was Mickey who made the arrangements for where they could land near the Park. Very cool...<br />
<br />
Of course, being St. Patrick's Day weekend and Salado being a host town for a major Scottish Clan Gathering each year, a few of us wore our kilts and Irish Green. <br />
<br />
And here's a wee bit of news: Our blog site has now grown to 27,000 hits from almost 50 countries. People around the world are taking a close look at what we Eggheads do for entertainment. And they keep coming back for more. Don't you just love being part of it all...<br />
<br />
I tried to capture the moment by collecting all the photos I could and assemble them into a video which I posted on YouTube. Take a look...<br />

<br />
<br />
Of course, as we all know, the Eggfest will unofficially begin on Friday the 15th for many as they arrive from points all over the country, even just down the road. They will want to get themselves established, tour the Village and then join with others for a few hours at what promises to be a very nice Pre-Fest party. Details will be forthcoming but you can bet there will be food and drink. I think Mickey made it a rule...<br />
<br />
So mark your calendars for the weekend of March 15th - 17th and start thinking about where you will stay, what you will cook, what to bring and even who to bring with you. You know it will be a lot of fun.<br />
<br />
Oh, and if you are so inclined, St. Patrick's Green and Kilts are welcome dress, no matter that you are not the least bit Celtic. <br />

It's the same weekend as St Patrick's Day, so that should work out perfectly for those of us who want to scoot around in Kilts like last year.<br />
<br />
I'll update you on this blog and on the Green Eggers Forum. Those who provided email addresses in last year's registration will also receive an email reminder.<br />
<br />
I'm sure it will be another great Eggfest so mark your calendars now so you don't sign up for something else on that weekend.<br />

That means arranging for the Park in Salado, arranging for tables and chairs, arranging for door prizes and a thousand other things that need to be done to make sure it will be another fun-filled weekend for everyone who attends.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, Mickey has already done most of the leg work but we still need for attendees to make plans and to let us know you're coming, and whether or not you will be cooking. We will be asking for registration in advance like last year because it really makes it a lot easier on everyone involved in doing the planning and setup. The registration form is below.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, with a little luck and some finger-crossing, we should have great weather. The Farmer's Almanac isn't being real specific but apparently the weather patterns lean toward warmer and dryer than in decades past. Let's hope it's not too dry like 2011. <br />
<br />
Anyway, last year's "Gathering" was great and we are looking forward to this one being even better. '<br />
<br />
Oh by the way, over thirty countries have checked out our web site and continue to do so on a daily basis. We've had well over 10,000 hits from people wanting to know "What the heck is going on in Salado that smells so good."<br />
<br />
Here's the Attendance information we need.<br />
<br />
<h2 class="title">Attendance Info Form</h2><div class="widget-content"><span style="color: #ff6600;">If you plan to attend the Salado Egghead Gathering, it would help if we have some information so to better plan for the event.

Yes, Eggfest! We changed the name from 'Gathering' to 'Eggfest' because we obviously grew out of the 'Gathering' stage at the 2011 event.<br />
<br />
We'll be sending out notices as to pre-registering, lodging, door prizes and demo Egg purchases as soon as we get the information together. It may take a few weeks.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, mark your calendar for March 17th.<br />
<br />

<br />
He still has to meet with the Board of Aldermen on July 7th to officially request the use of the Park and waver of fees, as well as a waver of the ban on alcohol.<br />
<br />
Given the nice turnout and promotion of the Village of Salado last year, I'm pretty sure we can swing it for that date.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to decide whether to start a new blog for this event, or even set up a permanent web site. It takes a bit of effort do keep a site up to date and a lot of effort to create a new one. But for now, I will use this site as a place to announce important information.<br />
<br />

But I had a couple of excuses: one, I'm basically lazy, and two, I'm a bit dim-witted. Just kidding about the "lazy" part.<br />
<br />
And we had to get ready to go to Hawaii. <br />
<br />
And then I apparently maxed out the capability of my "latest technology" computer. <br />
<br />
But I pressed on and forced it to come together, mostly because a few of you will be in Athens next weekend and asking "Where's the Movie?"<br />
<br />
So here it is, proof that we had a good time...<br />
<br />
Enjoy.<br />

My intention is to create a Recipe Book to be included in this blog. That way, anyone wishing to obtain the recipe of their favorite snacks need only to check the blog. I thought what better way to recognize the efforts of all the cooks than to pass on their recipes.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">In order to receive the recipes in a timely manner, I bestowed the following 'blessing' on those who hesitated to send them by April 14th. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"If you fail to do so, may the smell of a thousand camels enter your nostrils and remain there until you abandon your stalling tactics."</i><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Well, it's now April 16th and I only have a few recipes. Perhaps enough to get it started but certainly not fully reflective of all those outstanding dishes prepared on the Big Green Eggs.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I suspect those who did not submit their recipes are probably 'enjoying' the smell of a thousand camels wherever they go in their busy schedules.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The curse can be lifted only by sending the recipes. Please do so soon or the camel herd will increase in size and pungency. Send to <a href="mailto:springchicketexas@comcast.net"><span style="color: blue;">springchicketexas@comcast.net</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Thanks to those who submitted their recipes. I'm sure you are breathing well these days.</span><br />

There were some really nice items donated by some really generous supporters.

But one thing was very clear, they were all useful and very much appreciated by those who won.<br />

<br />
There were definitely over 200 attendeees and as expected, a lot of them were Newbies looking to learn more about the Egg. Well, they got a real education because there was plenty of food to eat and plenty of cooks to explain the recipe or the process.<br />
<br />
This had to be one of the top five Egghead Gatherings we've been to.<br />
<br />
We saw old friends and made new ones. We also met some very Eggcited people who will no doubt be Eggheads for a very long time.<br />
<br />
Photos and videos will follow.<br />
<br />
Yes, Mickey you did good. Now you can rest.<br />

I'm talking about Fred Bernardo of Fred's Music and BBQ Supply in Shillington, Pennsylvania, an Egghead like none other. <br />
<br />
He sent this to Mickey today:<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><em>Mickey, we would love to be a sponsor of your fest.

Some of it isn't easy, and definitely requires time and effort, and sometimes out-of-pocket expense.<br />
<br />
The Salado Egghead Gathering is no different. I just wanted you to know that things are happening behind the scenes, mostly due to the efforts of Mickey Rawls: aka Mickey. You may know him as mild-mannered, laid-back, supportive and a pretty good cook, but I now know him as all that plus energetic, unrelenting, creative, unselfish, organized, inquisitive, and even demanding if that's what it takes to pull off a great Salado Egghead Gathering.<br />
<br />
He approached the Village of Salado Council for permission to hold the Gathering in the City Park and to waive the No-Alcohol provision for the day.<br />
<br />
He's already ordered name badge blanks and holders (the kind that stays right side forward).<br />
<br />
He's gotten local restaurants, hotels, bed & breakfasts involved.<br />
<br />
He received a $200 donation from the Toyota dealership where he works. That alone may help keep us from having to charge for attending.<br />
<br />
He ordered tables and chairs to be delivered, set-up and returned.<br />
<br />
And as of a few minutes ago I learned that he will be bringing Salado Egghead Gathering T-shirts to the Coop Christmas Party <a href="http://coopchristmasparty.blogspot.com/">http://coopchristmasparty.blogspot.com/</a> on Saturday for some of those who ordered them. Here's what they look like:<br />

I suppose I could go on and on with praise but knowing Mickey, he's probably blushing already. He just wants everyone to have a great time.<br />
<br />
Oh, by the way... Our blog site just topped 2,500 views and the number continues to grow at over 40 views per day. Someone sure is interested in our little Gathering.<br />
<br />

Just today we received this from our Host Bed & Breakfast, Inn on the Creek:<br />

</div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Consolas;">The park is literally directly across the creek from our backyard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, it seemed to make a lot of sense that you guys treat our backyard as a retreat from the festivities you're all getting excited about participating in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Consolas;">For those of you who decide to stay with us at Inn on the Creek, we are extending this year's pricing for rooms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be sure to call to make reservations so you're not charged 2011's rates through the website.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our back yard will be a great place to relax and unwind when you aren't in the thick of things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our guests may also enjoy relaxing in the hot tub overlooking Salado Creek...or grabbing a drink in Alexander's Distillery (our onsite bar).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether you prefer a hammock or a rocking chair, we want you to experience good Southern hospitality when you're in our little Village, and especially here at the Inn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Consolas;">Salado is truly a destination our visitors seek out time and time again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether it's shopping, live theatre, experiencing our fine art galleries, antiquing, a trip to the spa, a visit to our wineries, or golfing that you plan to do when your not participating in Egghead festivities.....our little village has you covered!</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Consolas;">Looking forward to hearing from you!</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

</div>From the sound of his letter, the good folks in Salado have made it their mission to welcome visitors to their small community. <br />
<br />
Just a reminder: <span style="color: orange;"><em>If you are making reservations at the Host B&B, Inn on the Creek, call them direct at 877-947-5554. Be sure to tell them you are an Egghead. The web site will not work because Mickey reserved the entire hotel for us...</em></span><br />

They range in size from a few local Eggheads just getting together for some Saturday fun, to thousands of Eggheads attending the annual Eggtoberfest in Atlanta.<br />
