Great contest! Lots of shade (where we were anyway) but dirty and dusty due to extreme dry conditions... allergy flare up mod!
I'll get to Brethren walks shortly but first, I'm proud as HELL today! Taylor, my five year old took FIRST PLACE in the 5 to 10 year old age group out of 18 kids!!! She did a sausage/brat combo burger with some various seasonings and sa topping sauce made from apricot preserves, mayo, lemon juice and cilantro. Sounds bad but it was awesome! Judges agreed... check out the scores:
988 999 988 999 885 (idiot! a FIVE with ground meat??? :roll: ) 999 total: 173.
She got a blue ribbon, a trophy and a savings bond. I was so proud of her that I about cried!
Dalton, son of Brethren Jeff FROM KC and teammate of Brethren Bubba, took 8th in the same age group in what I believe might have been his first contest (correct me if I'm wrong, guys). HoDeDo Andy's daughter Kaylin took 11th. I don't have the 11 to 15 year old list but I don't think there was a Brethen kid in that group. Congrats to all the Jr. Brethren on a successful day!
