Cheatham Street Warehouse
Third Annual
Blind Hog Awards 2008
"Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in awhile" Darrell Royal
The Second Annual Cheatham Street Warehouse "Blind Hog Awards" are out! You know, Darrell Royal once said, "Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in awhile," which was the inspiration for our poll. Cheatham Street selected a panel of top judges who reviewed the nominees in sub-committees to insure that the awards were official. After several months and many cases of beer, we are pleased to announce the winners.
