Smokin Steers BBQ Team- This weekend there will be a High School BBQ competition on the downtown square. This is the first one hosted in Graham and because of COVID, it will be somewhat small. We have three boys that make up the Smokin Steers BBQ team. Landon Locker, Diego Arvizu, and Lucio Arvizu are coached by Rock Bottom BBQ’s Brendan Locker. There is a need for judges this Saturday. There are five categories and 5 judges are needed for each category. HSBBQ Inc. will explain the judging rules and expectations. If you are interested in being a judge, show up early in the day and sign up under the tent for a time slot. Early bird gets the worm! You may sign up for more than one category, but you can’t judge two categories in a row. Please stop by and say hello to the boys as well. The Grand Champion can earn a $3,000 scholarship per kid to a culinary school in Austin.

In the Spirit of Thanksgiving...
There are a lot of myths around the first American Thanksgiving in 1621, but one thing is for sure. The Pilgrims were lucky to be alive, and they knew it. “Eleven months earlier the Pilgrims had arrived at the tip of Cape Cod, fearful and uninformed,” says Nathaniel Philbrick in his book, “Mayflower. By all rights, none of the Pilgrims should have emerged from the first winter alive. But they did. With the strength of their faith, and help from many Native Americans, they did more than survive.... they began to flourish… they were thankful!
I challenge each of you to think of someone you consider to be really happy. Do they smile more than others you know? Do they laugh more than others you know? Does being in their presence make you happier? What makes this person different? In my opinion, this occurs in large part due to one's ability to be grateful and express gratitude. Let’s face it, bad things happen to all of us... it is not what happens to us that matters, it is our reaction to it. I hope you each take the time over this Thanksgiving Break to pause and consider what you are grateful for. May we all strive to have an attitude of gratitude!
I hope you each have a wonderful, safe, and Happy Thanksgiving!!!
