Barbeque
Team
So
you say you like to BBQ ...
Have we got a deal for you! Yep, that’s
right! The Cold River Cattle Company Barbeque Team (in conjunction
with the World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest sponsored by the Houston Livestock Show and
Rodeo) is looking for you!
The
Cold River crew has been cooking at the HLS&R barbeque cook-off for 26 years. The team is made up of doctors, lawyers, bankers
and even a few Indian chiefs.
The annual cook-off takes place over a three-day period
in February. But at Cold River, we start our party
a day before most other teams. This year, the fun begins
on Wednesday, February 25th, and keeps on rolling till
closing time on Saturday, February 28th.

This event is part of the kickoff weekend for the rodeo events,
so the mood is great and the food is fantastic! We cook a
full range of food: brisket, sausage, chicken and whatever
else gets close to the fire! And of course ... all the trimmings.
Over the years, Cold River has won the Grand Champion title
for both brisket and chicken. And we always win the “Best
Place to Be” award.
Cold River provides donors and their guests food and beverages
(alcoholic and non-alcoholic) in a private tent. We have
live music entertainment each night ... plus, a “Miss
Blue Jeans” contest on Saturday. Security is provided, even calls to Yellow Cab for those
who are just too full!
Proceeds benefit kids in the Houston area. Donations are
tax-deductible and allow us to hold two special events that
bring us more enjoyment and energy than all the other stuff
combined. On Friday, from 10 a.m. to noon, we will host children
from the Small Steps Nurturing Center; and our annual party
for the Sunshine Kids organization is Saturday morning.
So come on ... jump on the wagon! We would love to have you
as a part of our team. If you have any questions about the
team, the event or just general information, please give
us a call.
Thanks,
Paul Brindley
Team Coordinator
