Rio Grande Valley Regional

Hello Chili Heads,

.

I have posted new information on the website for hotel accommodations. It seems the Beachside Inn withdrew their offer of 49 bucks per night offer. This was last Friday.

Yesterday I went out amongst the rest of the hotels on the island. I have two choices for y'all.

The Howard Johnson Hotel will give a rate of 45 bucks a night. Ph. 956-761-5658

The Comfort Suites will give a rate of 59 bucks a night. Ph. 956-772-9020

In both cases you must ID yourselves as a chili cook. To receive this price you must call in your reservations before 4/20/07.

If you go to my website and click on the page titled "Hotels for Chili Heads" you will see this information. I have links to these hotels on the website and clicking on them will take you to their site. You can book the reservations on the internet. If it doesn't work then of course you have to phone them. www.chilicookoffspi.com.

If you plan to enter this contest or not please mention this change to other Chili Heads at other cook offs you may be attending. Thank you for your help in spreading the word of this hotel change.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I suppose the Beachside Inn received an massive booking to back out of their original offer. So much for sticking to your word---right!
