Dear Sponsors:

The Directors of the TEXAS SOCIAL CLUB would like to thank you for your continuing participation in sponsoring the TEXAS SOCIAL CLUB at the HOUSTON LIVESTOCK SHOW AND RODEO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BBQ COOKOFF. Being one of the largest and oldest teams at the cook-off, we could not have had the success we've experienced without your support. The 2023 cook-off will be Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, February 23rd, 24th and 25th, 2023. There will be approximately 300 entries competing for the World BBQ title with over 250,000 visitors to cheer them on.

The exciting news is that we have increased our tent size by 30 % which now makes the Texas Social Club the largest BBQ Team at the Cookoff. With this increase there will be more tables and chairs and a larger bar area serving drinks at our famous open bar. We have also enhanced the food line which will make it quicker for everyone going through it. As in previous years, we will be presenting (2) two whole hogs each of the three nights with each hog weighing over 350 pounds. As always, we will have a live band performing the entertainment for all three nights along with dancing on our now larger dance floor. You may arrive anytime, but the party doesn't get going till about 5:30pm and will end at 11:00pm each night (as per the guidelines set by the HLSR BBQ Committee). As always, our complete BBQ dinner will be served from 5:30pm till 8:00pm each night.

SPONSORSHIP INFORMATION

Only Platinum or Diamond Sponsors will be allowed to put up their company banner inside the Saloon\Party area with the banner not to be larger than 30" X 50".

There is a mandatory $ 20.00 entrance fee into the main cook-off area, which is a charitable contribution to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo scholarship fund that everyone must pay at the entrance gate to enter. This is something we have no control over, but the money does go to a good cause. Each Sponsors invitation's, sponsor badges, parking information and further instructions will be available by February 7, 2023. We are still limiting the number of Sponsors and all money must be in by January 12, 2023.

Each Sponsor badge allows only (1) one person to enter all three nights (Thursday, Friday and Saturday) while the regular invitations allows only (1) one person to enter either the Thursday, Friday and Saturday night as detailed on that invitation to the Texas Social Clubs private party and saloon area, which includes all drinks, live music and BBQ dinner.
