Ground Hog Chili and Barbecue Cookoffs
Chili Cooks and Judges where are you?
.
We are now nine days away from what promises to be a unique, excellent cookoff. There is still lots of room for chili booths. We have a total of 15 booths---with 17 chili cooks! Only three more cooks are needed to make this a new Southern California Regional cookoff! There will be some new things and some surprises. What well known, very competitive chili cook will be cooking barbecue instead?
.
Chili cooks---please contact Keith and Dawn Caroselli at kcaroselli@dc.rr.com. Chili judges---please contact Bill Ray at Chiliray94@sbcglobal.net. You will all be excellently hosted by the Palm Desert Country Club and will help to return a memorable cookoff to the Coachella Valley!
.
Hope to see your there.
