Graham Western Heritage Days, Chuck wagon ACWA Cook Off Sept 24 & 25 Graham Old City Square.

Reggie Jackson — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 01:09:46 +0000

Ervin & Gail hit the road around 4:00 Friday morning so we could miss the Ft Worth traffic, and pulled into Graham around 8:30. Found a good spot & started setting up. Joseph & Sara got there around 12:00. We all ate a good meal at the dinner across the street & went back to finished setting up wagon in the rain, Lynn Jackson came in around 3:00. It cleared up a little for the wagon inspection at 4:30pm. They started bringing food shortly after the meeting of all the wagons there was six this year & some pretty tough competitors were there. We all went to the Montana Restaurant and ate a good meal, and also planned out game strategy for Saturday before retiring. It came a flood Friday night. After breakfast Saturday morning we started getting ready for the big day. Jimmie Hollandsworth came in around 12:00 just ta visit & see about maybe getting a cook-off setup for Celina. He ended up staying and helping us cook & serve. He fit right in with our crew & wagon. We started serving at 6:00 right after turning in our judge’s samples. We were one of the first ta sell out. We really got a lot of good comments on our food and wagon & even booked a job for next September on a dude ranch in Graham more details on this later.

The judging was tough & there was quite a few this this year but 1298 is getting better this year we did 3rd in Beans, 3rdin Potatoes, 3rd in Most Congenial wagon, 4th in Desert.

Lynn Did a great job on his Biscuits & all agreed that his was the best, but the judges like sour dough. His gravy was great but they don’t judge gravy (OH we had people from other wagons come for gravy, biscuits & cobbler). What do the Judges know? We had a ball after the results with lots of singing & dancing. Once this was over we loaded up & came home Saturday night.

The weather held after the skies cleared Saturday morning, & we all had a great time.

A very special to Jimmy & Lynn for their help I hope we’ll be seeing more of them.

Scout Show Wrap-up

Reggie Jackson — Mon, 10 May 2010 02:28:44 +0000

I want to thank everyone that was able to come out for the great job they did with the setup and tear down. We were one of the 1^st groups in, and the 1^st or 2^nd group out at tear down time. This was the best year as the wagon was ½ way home to Corsicana at 3:45 and by that time I was unloaded at Camp Wisdom and on my way home. Much different from the years before where it was starting to get dark before we were started home.

We had lots of traffic though out the day with lots of questions and oos and ahh’s .

The pictures have been uploaded of Scout show here.

Let’s get ready for a good meeting June the 12^th at Camp Wisdom with some blacksmithing in the morning and maybe a lunch as it looks as we will have some visitors.
