Delaware Valley Regional Chili Cookoff

I just checked airfares for various flights into Philadelphia for the DVRCC. The host hotel offers free airport transportation and there will be many cooks at the hotel to provide transportation to the site. The airfares I found at Southwest.com are very reasonable for someone who wants to fly in and cook. Below are some examples of what I found:

.

Denver - $198 RT

DFW - $198 RT

Chicago - $218 RT

Indianapolis - $218 RT

Columbus, OH - $98 RT

Las Vegas - $228 RT

LAX - $188 RT

Fort Lauderdale - $98 RT

Orlando - $98

Oakland - $198 RT

Tampa - $98

.

If anyone wants to travel into Philadelphia for the Delaware Valley Regional Chili Cookoff these are some great fates. We also have some tremendous prize money…$2000 fir 1^st place red chili. Please visit www.delvalchilicookoff.com
