| TODAY’S GIRL BEAUTY PRINCESS - Jessie Musgrove, daughter of Becky and Scott Musgrove, competed in the Texas State Today’s Girl Pageant in Plano. She was awarded the crown as the Texas State Today’s Girl Teen Beauty Princess. Winning this award qualifies Musgrove to compete in the National Pageant in Houston, TX on July 30 – August 3. |
The group is planning a work-day for band parents and students on July 31 at the Jayson Harris Pavilion beginning at 7 p.m. to make the grounds ready for the event.
The band’s largest fundraiser of the year, the cook-off attracts teams from all across Texas. A highlight of the event for the community will be a barbecue lunch with all the trimmings on Saturday, August 2 at the pavilion.
The lunch will begin at 11:30 a.m. and last until 2 p.m. Tickets will be $8 for adults and $5 for children and are available for purchase from any band student or at the Hamilton Herald-News office. Take-out orders will be available and there will be a convenient drive-through window and a number to call in orders.
Teams do not have to be members of the society to participate - everyone is welcome to compete. Local teams are encouraged to sign up to support the band and enjoy a full weekend of cooking, competition and visiting with friends.
Categories for the cook-off will be ½ chicken, pork spare ribs, brisket and jack pot beans and Dutch oven desserts.
The entry fee for meat categories will be $50 and a cooked brisket, which will be used for the fundraising lunch on Saturday. There is an additional $10 fee for jackpot beans and Dutch oven desserts.
Due to limits on electricity and water, those conveniences are available on a first-come basis or may be reserved with a $10 pre-payment.
First, second and third place winners will receive cash and trophies. Fourth through tenth place winners will receive ribbons.
