Mickey has a lot to do before the official date of the next Salado Eggfest is confirmed, but it appears that March 16, 2013 is the best date. 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.
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.
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.
See you in Salado.
Salado Eggfest update...
Well, the Salado Eggfest 2012 has come and gone, and did so in High Fashion. We had a fantastic weekend. If you want to see the movie click here...

It's Time To Start Getting Ready For The Salado Eggfest
We only have a few weeks before the Salado Eggfest, so it's time for us to start the wheels turning. 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.
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.
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.
Anyway, last year's "Gathering" was great and we are looking forward to this one being even better. '
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."
Here's the Attendance information we need.
Thanks

It's Official - March 17, 2012 for Salado Eggfest
We're set for March 17th as the next Salado Eggfest. Yes, Eggfest! We changed the name from 'Gathering' to 'Eggfest' because we obviously grew out of the 'Gathering' stage at the 2011 event.
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.
Meanwhile, mark your calendar for March 17th.

March 17, 2012 selected for Next Salado Egghead Gathering
It isn't set in stone yet but Mickey decided that March 17, 2012 would be the best date for the next Salado Egghead Gathering.
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.
Given the nice turnout and promotion of the Village of Salado last year, I'm pretty sure we can swing it for that date.
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.

Salado - The Movie
I'm sure all of you are thinking, "When is the movie coming out?" 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.
And we had to get ready to go to Hawaii.
And then I apparently maxed out the capability of my "latest technology" computer.
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?"
So here it is, proof that we had a good time...
Enjoy.
