The Texas Potjie Festival 2009 is only 4 months away! Before we know it weโll be sokkie-ing and kuier-ing together again over the Labor Day Weekend.
A few weeks ago the Texas Potjie Committee met up at the KOA campgrounds in Rusk, TX to discuss this yearโs gathering.ย Going up there just reaffirmed to us how nice the facilities and the surroundings actually are.ย We just canโt wait for this yearโs Potjie.
If you havenโt bookedโdo so now!!! Go to the Potjie website at www.texaspotjie.com to get the details.
We have decided that this yearโs Set Category is BEEF.ย So start getting your best recipes together and start practicing for this yearโs Cook-off.
Besides the set category there are three other types of potjiekos one can submit for judging.ย The Open Category includes all entrรฉe dishes that are not beefโsuch as chicken, lamb, pork etc.ย Then there is the bread category and finally the dessert category.
On the Saturday is the coveted Best in Boerewors in Texas Competition.ย ย So start tweaking your favorite Boerewors recipes as well.
For the kids we have planned activities such as the watermelon eating contest, an outdoor movie night, and a piรฑata jamboree.ย Of course we will also be having the cricket and touch-rugby friendly for all to participate in as well. And then of course there is the sokkie on Saturday night.
Lastly like in 2008, there will be an Afrikaans Kerkdiens led by Ds. Botha in the hall.
See you there!
