I said from the beginning this year would be different, and it was. Low on numbers, but high on quality. Thanks to all who came out ....it was very nice day.

The ribs, boudin, gumbo and gator were all really good. I missed the Key Lime Pie....someone make sure that doesn't happen next year. I heard about it all day long and how good it was

Oh....and ThisLadyHunts.....you know what happens when you do something well? WELL....... you are on cookie duty every year!

I'm thankful I grabbed one while I could....they did a full on disappearing act quickly! Nice meeting you and Mr. Plus 1.

Love this Green Screen family....and thankful for these good times together!

I heard about that. Appears the Boss got a little “juiced” again this year huh?
Some people are just bad influences I guess!

I’m sorry I had to miss my first Nanza in years. Lord willing...it won’t happen again.

Casey · 05-10-2021, 09:16 AM

I only snapped a few but tried to catch the essence. I got the camera out a bit late, I guess.

I echo the other thoughts. Quality time with like-minded folks.

It was great and a long day, but loved it for sure.
I enjoyed visiting with everyone again this year and can't wait for next year to get here.
Food was excellent and the drinks were cold!!!

Michael · 05-10-2021, 11:56 AM

What a great time visiting with old friends and making a few new ones! The weather was great and the food was outstanding. We missed a lot of the regular cooking teams, but Team Rib and Team Boudin Road Show really stepped up. Big thanks to all those who showed up early to prep, cook and contribute!

As expected, it was a much smaller crowd than we've had in the past, but I'm so happy Mary (and others) pushed to make a post-Covid Bownanza happen, even with the restrictions on cooking teams and little time to prepare! Thanks to everybody that came out to make this a memorable Bownanza!

Next year will be the 20th Annual event, and we'll likely be back to our regular timeframe. Be sure to pencil in your calendars now!

bwssr · 05-10-2021, 12:20 PM

Wow...next year is 20?!?!?!?!...wow

Seems like a perfect time to get the OGs (plus first timers and regulars too) back to Bownanza.

We need to go ahead and crank up our base for next year and start building teams! Jerikson and I were talking about doing a Team Fajita next year and make a buncha fajitas. Jared owns Tailgate Troubadours so he has tents, grills, smokers, cookers, and stuff. He provided the corn hole boards and bags this year! Thanks for that Jared!

I expect Team Rib will be back too.

If Beleg doesn't saddle up next year I will handle the name tags again. I promise to do better next year if I do them!

Let's make next year the biggest and best yet!

WCB · 05-10-2021, 12:41 PM

Sorry I missed this one. Only the 4th one I've missed since 04

Agdog · 05-10-2021, 12:50 PM

Glad y’all kept the candle lit, job well done!

Count me in for year 20!

Hopefully we can all get back on the horse for the Big 20th next year!

Thanks for sharing the pics Casey and Michael. I recognize some really good folks in them............and Burnadell 😜

Artos · 05-10-2021, 04:09 PM

The trip was a blessing & good for the soul...heart warming to see old friends, while making new ones!! It's the first time in a long time where it simply felt normal & joyous without any static.

I guess we will add tamales to the next check list.

Sorry, I left out Team Tamale! Those were legit and hit the spot for early morning breakfast until the other food was done.

I learned that Delia's tamales are amazing for breakfast. I got busy so I only got two that Michaela brought me. I'd have eaten 12 if I coulda got to 'em!

Michael · 05-10-2021, 05:46 PM

A few more random pics that I discovered on my phone...

Casey FINALLY got his new V3 from Mathews.

Delia Delivery

The Mayor and the Mrs. drink a toast to “normal.”

Team Rib is a well oiled machine.

The party after the party.

RFB demands the honor of your presence at Bownanza XX next year!

Abigail took her first selfie with my phone and captured Grampa in a bit of a fog on Sunday morning!

Not sure how I managed to not meet you. I ended up down by the gator legs and gumbo and never left. Got caught up talking with John B and some other fellas and lost track of time and had to go.

I was thinking the same exact thing...it's always been a blur on making wanted / expected contacts in the past, but never would have guessed I would have missed several of the wanted greets on this small crew. You weren't the only one I'm bummed I missed to say hey in person. It's a very unique get together & while this one was said to be different, it was still very familiar in some aspects.

Heck, I guess I took the girls back to the hotel when the group pick was taken & didn't think it even happened till I saw it here...that is just how bownanza rolls.

We plan on being back next year if possible so maybe we'llmeet then. We were pulling out of the parking lot when the group pic was taken.

Chew · 05-10-2021, 07:53 PM

If I would have known Delia's was on the menu....

I've driven a couple hundred miles to get those!

It's self inflicted...I got a bowl of gumbo from seeing one floating around, but didn't take the time to inquire about all the other goodies I missed out on. I'm not gonna ignore the entire cover of that tent's contents again. Lessons learned.

I did try to spread the word & it certainly wasn't a secret as they did last well past noon...heck, I wasn't sure how to even properly warm them up, but wrapping them with extra foil & laying them out on the top of the Hoss's firebox turned out to be an easy ticket.

West Feeds · 05-10-2021, 08:20 PM

Looked like a wonderful time with a great group of folks. Thanks for sharing all the pictures!

Didn't even see any floating around....I will remember this come Gorditas next year....lol....

Leonhogboy · 05-10-2021, 09:03 PM

I don't know who all ended up with the pickles, but they didn't last long.

Artos · 05-10-2021, 09:11 PM

I caught the gorditas one year by divine intervention...otherwise, they were already sold out by the time the rumors got around of their mere existence.

I'm looking forward to this new mysterious los vatos mollejas & may somehow merge the timing of both on a crowded plate along with a delia pork & bloody mary chaser!!

May have to start the rib fire a tad later since team breakfast is gonna push the appetite back some!!

RobinHood · 05-10-2021, 09:12 PM

Really enjoyed the day. Lots of great folks that treat everyone like family.
Team Mollejas will make our debut next year.
