Everyone – we have some important information about Zest Fest 2007 that will save you $$, so please read below:
Last year, Cheffy reserved a block of rooms at the Amerisuites (Stockyards) for HSBers. If you’d like to stay at the Amerisuites, the rooms are available for a discounted $129 a night for the Thurs-Sun block. You don’t have to stay all 4 nights to get the rate, but you have the option if you need to. The Amerisuites will not be an Amerisuites come September, it’ll be a Hilton and the room rates are going up quite a bit, so call and make your reservations ASAP – there are only a limited number of rooms available at the discounted rate.
To make youre reservation, please call:
Fort Worth/Historic Stockyards AmeriSuites
132 East Exchange Ave.
Fort Worth, TX 76106
Tel: (817) 626-6000
Fax: (817) 626-6018
And make sure to tell them that you are with the Hot Sauce Blog to get the discounted rate.
Poker Night (Saturday Night):
We’ve reserved the same conference room for Saturday night from 7pm to 5am – however, they are removing the breakfast buffet and putting in a bar, so we’ll be able tp purchase beer and wine there (until 2am) but we will not be able to bring in our own. But we’re all adults, so everyone figure that one out for themselves. To play in the poker game, the cost will be $10-$15 per person (we have to cover the $250 room rental charge) and a bottle of hot sauce. As with the first tournament, we will order trophies and the winners (and biggest loser) will all get prizes.
Collector’s Badges
Once again, Chile Pepper will be doing collector’s badges. Stay tuned here for more information.
Big thanks to Cheffy for looking out for everyone!
