Zest Fest 2006 – Day 2 & 3 Highlights

Day 2 & 3 pretty much ran together for a few of us. We were going to bed when most were getting up, but hell, we didn’t come here to sleep! Poker game was a blast – bigger and better next year (and possibly NM). Thanks to all who chipped in and made the night so much fun. For the record, Arizona Jack took first, Aaron took 2nd and Ryan took 3rd.

Zest Fest 2006 Photos here.

I got most of everyone’s photos – slowly adding to Flickr so be sure to check out all the new photos there. If I didn’t get yours, please send them into me and we’ll add them to the set. We’re going to work on getting the video of the awards dinner, the mechanical bull and all the photos we can find onto a CD/DVD for everyone that attended and anyone else that wants one.

Collectors that aren’t here – not to worry, we’ve taken care of the majority of the “wish lists” one way or another. Email collectors ‘@’ hotsauceblog.com with any questions. I’ll contact everyone in the next few days.
