Join us up in Flagstaff, AZ on June 8 for the cooks party at PJ's on the property of Inn and Suites Hotel on Route 66. The hotel runs a happy hour with free beer from 5 until 6:30 and then cooks and friends get the place for a catered Fajitas dinner by Salsa Brava, one of our sponsors. Room rates at the Inn and Suites are $69.99 for a regular room and $79.99 for a 2 room suite. All rooms have refrigerators.

After enjoying a great day at Thorpe Park cooking the 24th Annual Route 66 Regional, you'll then take a drive through the world's largest ponderosa pine forest to Payson, AZ, right at the base of the Mogollon Rim.

.

On Sunday, June 10, you'll take part in the 36th Arizona State Championship Chili Cookoff, with great prize money ($1000.00 1st Place ICS RED Chili, $500 1st Place Chili Verde, & $250 1st Place Salsa) and trophies at the Mazatzal Casino. For those of you flying in, your only 80 miles from Phoenix, but much cooler. I hope you'll be joining us this year for another great set of cookoffs!
