50 Years of Wurstfest in New Braunfels, Texas - You Could Go Free

Monday, October 18, 2010 by The Texas Travelin' Man

It’s Wurstfest time again in New Braunfels, but this is a special year. It’s Wurstfest’s 50th anniversary and it’s a golden time to visit.

The dates for Wurstfest’s Golden Anniversary are October 29 – November 7, 2010. The cost for admission is $8.00

The Texas Travelin’ Man wants to send 130 people (65 couples) to Wursfest this year as my guest and I’ve made it easy.

For the first 65 people who send me:
1) a suggestion (posted on this blog) on where to find the Best Chicken Fried Steak in Texas then;
2) send an email to Tickets@TourTexas.com with their name and mailing address, I’ll send them 2 tickets to Wurstfest 2010. (1 pair per family per address, please.)

Here are the Chicken Fried Steak places I’ve been to so far, so hopefully you will give me other options.

To learn more about last years Wurstfest, read my blog.

Who is that mapped man? It's the Texas Travelin' Man.

There have been several suggestions for Mexican Restaurants that have the best Chicken Fried Steak. I'm a believer that when in Rome, etc. If I go to a Mexican Restaurant, I'll eat Mexican food. If I go to a French Restaurant, I'll eat French Food. I laso need a clarification. Here is a post from last week. Thursday, October 28, 2010 by Rachel : The best CFS, Arlington steakhouse with their green cream gravy!! Please explain the "Green Gravy" Was it left over from St. Patricks Day? Not sure I want to try Green Gravy. Keep the suggestions coming in and in a few weeks you will see the first 5 Udder Rating and the first 0 Udder Rating.
