It is the Live Oak County Area Go Texan organization. They partner with San Patricio County to do the cookoff in Houston. They are a very good organization, and give out a significant number of scholorships to students down there. Live Oal County cooks the BBQ for Friday night, and San Patricio County frys the fish for Saturday night, and they have a live band both nights. A very good friend of mine that has since passed away had some friends that were with the Live Oak County Go Texan Committee, and after he passed away I picked up and continued on with the sponsorship that he had done for years. They are very good people that run that deal. So not only do they have a good party, it is also kind of a memorial deal in honor of my old friend that I continue to sponsor them. And also the fact that they do the scholorships as well.
Thanks for sharing! I love that they do scholarships, and your way of honoring your friend
