34th Annual World Championship Goat Bar-B-Que Cook Off

On Saturday, we decided to do something fun and different. We went to the 34th annual World Championship Goat Bar-B-Que Cookoff in Brady, TX.




There was a sea of people there.


There were 150 teams cooking goat in good old fashioned Texas Style:

This feller here... he's got it made. He's got hisself (that's a Texas word) a trailer mounted pit Bar-B-Que, a little ol' pick 'em up, a Magellen tent, and he's fixin' hisself some goat.




These guys here even have a pink flamingo on their trailer. Notice, no one down here uses charcoal, just wood...especially mesquite.

Finally, there were a bunch of vendors with arts and crafts, and fun stuff for the kids to do. We let the kids go to a "duck pond". Each of them picked out a rubber ducky from the pond and won a prize:



We didn't actually eat any goat. Anna and the kids didn't want any, and I'd already had some when John and Shirley visited us in July. Instead, we had lunch at McDonald's and then headed home.

150 guys cookin up goat over mesquite, and you got to McDonalds.

I'm not sure about this, but I think you may have broken a number of laws down in that thar Texas state.
