Reminder for the WACA members who are also TGCA members (or would like to be!) it’s time to start thinking about the TGCA Fall Show! Once again we will be holding the show at the very comfortable Embassy Suites. I’m looking forward to seeing lots of WACA folks there, I promise we will be done with this triple-digit heat nonsense by then. My apologies for bringing it up to this year’s Cody Show, I honestly did not know it followed me up there!

As always we are planning on a first-class show, if I can help make your experience better please let me know! Hotel reservations need to be made soon, table reservations can be completed at the below link. 

Please PM or post any questions I may be able to answer for you.

It’s a very well run show by a dedicated group of people & Mike! 😂.  No, Mike really works hard for the club and is a great ambassador for them.  The Southwest Airlines “pricing stars” aligned again last week and I get to go play again.  Still need to find a good bbq place there though.

Thanks for the kind words, Ben. I’m proud to work with this bunch, Have been helping put on this show for several years, even before they railroaded me into a board position.

I’m gonna go old school on area BBQ, hard to beat Smokehouse in Lindsay but some say Dieter Brothers (a few hundred yards east) is better. Dieter Brothers has a great club sandwich and they are both famous for chicken fried steaks.

Haven’t tried them or 407. I guess I need to get out more.

Chuck, that’s only for when you need gas and a quick sandwich…not even close!

Mike you haven’t been to 407?!? You’re on probation starting today.

That would give me a great excuse for replacing the smoker that flew so well and landed so poorly awhile back.

Bill vetoed by my CFO. Good idea, apparently this gathering will be BYOB in the tradition of the Cody gathering. Too bad the Smokehouse in Denton closed. Lindsay is a bit of a hike for out-of-town guests, even with free ice vending machine tours!

We’ll see. He picked up the bar tab at the Elkhorn in Meeteetse and look how that turned out!

Cheapest meal you’ll ever get, will only cost you one “5-SPOT”.
