August 27 - Well we took the "Best Application of Beef" award yesterday in the Beef Cook-off at the fair. It wasn't first place...we are still trying to figure out what this means...but we sure had a good time cooking with all the other media personalities. I am loving the fair. It is just so nice to see everybody. Thursday, Tom and I are doing the backstage broadcast for the Toby Keith show. Bring a jacket to the concert...as there are sprinkles in the forecast. - Becky

August 26 - The Brooks & Dunn show was last night and Tom Owens is paying for it this morning. He was hollering along with the band and he has lost his voice this morning. He also stayed up until midnight! What a trooper though. I will give him credit. He still wants to party like a kid...and still shows up to work in the wee hours. He will learn his lesson...I think. I stayed for Brooks & Dunn. I actually thought it was a more scaled down show than when B&D headline the tour. At the lastl minute the promoter switched and B&D were the second act on...not the late night headliner. That worked out well for me, so I could see the boys. I just couldn't stay up for ZZ Topp. Tom said they were great! Today is the Beef Cook-off at the fair. Wish us luck. We are defending our championship title from last year. We are making Margaritta Beef Kabobs. Anyhow, we we will eat well. - Becky
