Back to Back at AVI

.

Surprise! Surprise! No one was blown away at Laughlin over the Easter weekend. It was absolutely beautiful… warm, but beautiful! Susie Baumberger (Chairman) and Fred Muirhead (AVI) put together 2 great events. We were moved to thick grass, served lunch both days, and everything we asked for was waiting for us. Jim Maehl did his usual great job and the Lake Havasu Chili Society was there for whatever was needed. Carol & Dave Hancock put in an appearance and we will forgive them for leaving before judging. You're on for the next one Dave. The winners:
