We have been in Houston for just over two years and have been desperately looking for something like this, looks and sounds like so much fun - in true South African style. Our potjie pot was one of the things that came with us and we make potjie regularly - how do you enter to participate in the competition? We will definitely be there!!!

Geluk mense!! Ons het weereens voorblad nuus gemaak! Hierdie keer in DIE BEELD: http://www.beeld.com/Content/Wereld/Nuus/1920/ffa24f6b29374308974422dca2d00d68/12-09-2009-01-50/SA_emigrante_hou_%E2%80%98poykee%E2%80%99-fees_in_Texas
DJ Lenry van Zyl September 12,2009 Wichita, Kansas
Die potjiekosfees lyk baie lekker. Ek is baie bly dat soveel Suid Afrikaners in die buiteland nogsteeds hul taal praat en tradisies uitleef. Hou so aan! Hoop dat die fees net sal groei en uit sy nate bars!
Louis Hattingh September 12,2009 Potchefstroom
Ek was so homesick en ongelukkig en vol verlange terug Suid-Afrika toe, maar die naweek in Rusk was met een woord net ongelooflik en vir my voel dit asof ek terug in RSA was en my batterye is ge recharge . My eerste Potjie maar verseker nie my laaste nie. Dis net jammer daar is nie genoeg plek vir almal op die kampeerplek nie en dat sommige in die hotel moet slaap. Southern Motor Inn, hou maar verby, volgende jaar en kry liewer 'n tent op die grond. Aan al die mense wat gereel het aan die lekker naweek, baie baie dankie, dit was goed gereel en hoop ons verdubbel in getalle volgende jaar.
Lee-zette van Zyl September 10,2009 San Antonio
Dit was ons eerste TX Potjie, wat n FEES! Ons kannie uitgepraat raak oor die naweek nie. Ons kinders 11 en 14 jaar oud het werklik nou vir die eerste keer ervaar waaroor ons volk en kultuur gaan. Baie dankie vir al die moeite van ieder en elk wat met die organisasie van die naweek bemoeid was. Ons het soveel nuwe vriende gemaak en kan nie wag vir die herontmoeting volgende jaar nie. Fred, ek maak jou burgemeester van Potjieville!
Groete van huis tot huis!
Wessel Lubbe September 9,2009 Houston, TX
Ons hou lekker naweek en dink nie hoeveel harde werk gaan in die beplanning nie! Julle organiseerders raak net al hoe beter! Baie-baie dankie!
As ons dit volgende jaar weer by Rusk hou, koop ek persoonlik vir Walter 'n kaartjie Bahamas toe vir daai tydperk. Die man het my ten minste 3 keer gedreig dat hy my uit die kamp terrein gaan gooi! Eenkeer omdat Bubbles sonder 'n leash was, en 'n ander keer omdat ek sonder 'n geel bandjie was en toe omdat ek 'n kind se squirtgun gaan terug eis het, wat hy afgeneem het SONDER rede! Ek het persoonlik gesien hoe hy menigte kinders intimideer en sommer uit die swembad jaag. Hy het ook van ons groep se kinders gedreig deur te se hy gaan hulle en hulle ouers vra om die kampterein te verlaat. Uggh! ! Hy het sy naam lelik plank gemaak in my opinie.
En toe wen die " Wille Wragtags" wragtag 1ste plek in die open catagory! En die Fees word uitgesaai op minstens 3 TV stasies!
Nogmaals baie dankie aan almal!
Jackie Strydom September 8,2009 Dallas, TX
The Festival was wonderful and the KOA campground was really nice! Just to let others know that the Southern Motor Inn was the most disgusting place that we have ever had the misfortune to stay in. One guests was locked out of his room on Saturday night and could only get the manager on Sunday morning to gain access - thank goodness for the tent community! Just a warning for next year!
Grace Bates September 8,2009 Plano, Texas
Hi Mark.
If you had to pick only one day to visit, Saturday would probably be your best bet... See you there!
DJ Lenry van Zyl August 31,2009 Wichita, Kansas
Hi - Thought I would visit the Potjie Fest this weekend. What would be the best day to visit? I cannot stay for the entire weekend. Thanks!
Mark Hall August 30,2009 Austin, Texas
Howzit!!! I'm fresh in from Mpumalanga and would love 2 go to the festival, but I have no way of getting there. If there are any South Africans in the Dallas, Fort Worth or Arlington area that are going and would give me a ride, please let me know! basilkourie@yahoo.com or 817 658 1438

Hi there!
Thanks for leaving a comment in my guest book. I am a potjie-cook myself. It is a great tradition, and an excellent treat on birthdays and when I'm in South Africa I like joining a potjiekos competition.
Good luck with your organisation!
