Excellent job, way to represent Brenham. Thanks, and Congratulations!!
For future it would be cool if Brenham & Washington county would step up and support this. the team has to go out and ask for donations to just be able to go but we are always trying to promote the area, and this is the perfect opportunity.
Companies could donate good and a person to pitch their products or brochures from the area to add to the hospitality aspect of the team PPL from all over the world attend this event and it is the perfect way to help the team and promote out area.
Again, THANKS AND CONGRADULATIONS.
Thanks for making Washington county proud!! with that said the city, county and tourism ppl are wanting to prompted Brenham This team had to stress and ask for donations for support, why are the Brenham businesses not standing in line to sponsor and be there tom be a part of the hospitality commitee handing out goods made right here in Brenham or have brochures to promote buisness
Because the local home grown businesses are busy paying high rent and taxes while your big box retailers are enjoying tax subsidies.
In other words the local home grown does not have the $$ to be sponsoring and being away from their businesses.
Am I really the only person offended and embarrassed that a cooking team of grown men would actually name their team WTF?? Seriously. This is awful!! You make us sooo proud. You are representing Washington County and what a wonderful example you set for our youth. Shame shame on you.
