How long do you want to ignore this user?
What is it?
Super. Natural. Goodness.
"What's this button do?"
The 62nd Annual Brazos County Youth Livestock Show is also going on this weekend at the Expo! Come out and support the youth of Brazos County. There will be all types of Ag related events. Always family friendly and admission is free. We will not be trying to sell you Stuff or expensive food from food trucks! Parking is free and close to the event. Hope we see y'all at the Expo!
We will be competing in the BBQ cookoff
Brisket?
chicken, ribs, brisket, fajitas and margaritas

You said it Techno! Whoop!
Hey Capn! How did things go at the big Spirit of Texas Event? Did y'all win the BBQ contest? Say, I bet you spent lots of money on buying stuff and expensive Food Truck fare! You could have skipped the fluff to make the wealthy folks feel good and ventured over to to the 62nd Annual Brazos Valley Youth Livestock Show at the Expo to show your support for the HOLSOME hardworking youth in Brazos County!
Is HOLSOME supposed to be an acronym for something?
That was Shawn that entered the BBQ contest. I am good at eating BBQ, but I can assure you that any BBQ I cooked would not win anything!FlyingMudball said:

But, no, I didn't make the event. I went to Aggie baseball games instead.
Also, I will add, that I don't get hostility towards one event from organizers of other events. I am sure the organizers of both worked hard to put on their events. The Spirit of Texas event benefited charity and I believe one of the purposes of the event is to bring people in from out of town to stay in local hotels, shop at local shops, and eat at restaurants (in addition to at the Festival). I guess I am a 'rising tide lifts all boats' kind of guy, but it seems to me local events should support other local events and not make snide remarks about them.
It's a First World townie problem. Every place has it. Just a very small vocal minority most of the time. Easy to dismiss.Captn_Ag05 said:

If an event has food, I am there. Period. My only criteria.
Maybe I was there at the wrong time, but the Spirit of Texas festival was extremely lacking compared to the advertising they did. 50 food trucks? There weren't even 20 when we were there on Saturday. Also, if I wanted to have Rodan+Fields, LuLaRoe, Advocare, etc. sold to me, then I would ask 1 of the 2316547651 people on FB who are peddling that crap. However, despite the negativity, my daughter had a good time, and I hope the event continues to expand to become a great spring festival for the area!
