River City Regional Chili Cookoffs # 1 & # 2 – June 2 & 3^rd, 2007

Old Town Folsom, CA ~ Steve McIntire and David Hipskind - Chairmen

The River City Regional Chili Cookoff and Jimboys Tacos present "The2nd annual Old Town Folsom Chili Championship" on Saturday and Sunday, June 2 & 3, 2007, on Old Historic Sutter Street. We are very excited to have Dr Ernie Bodai's CureBreast Cancer Foundation as our benefactor. As you maybe aware Dr Bodai is the founder of the Breast Cancer Stamp. www.curebreastcancer.org

We need to know if you are planning to cook at the River City Regional Cookoffs. As of now, I have 15 Red for each day and the required 7 in Salsa and Verde. After 20+ years as one of the most successful Regional Cookoffs in Northern California, it would be a shame if these cookoffs did NOT retain their Regional Status. Please, check your calendars and come on back to the Old West and cook your best pot of Chili. It would be a great help if you would sign up on-line at www.chilicoff .com. It will let me know you are coming and what categories you are competing in. Plus, I will print them and bring to the cookoff; you will NOT have to complete another application. This will speed up the check in process.

We will gather at the Power House Pub on Friday evening for a pre-cookoff party. Plan to arrive after 5:00 and plan to spend the evening overlooking the American River, sipping a cold one, shooting the breeze about chili and watching the sun go down. If you are planning to join, please respond as soon as possible. I need to let Powerhouse know how much beer to supply. I will send the address and directions to Powerhouse when you let me know you are coming.

Set up begins at 7:00am both days. We do have security all night, so you can leave your tents and tables overnight if you wish.

SCHEDULE CATEGORY ENTRY FEE PRIZES 1^st – 2^nd – 3rd

If you are flying in, please let me know ASAP and I can arrange for table and chairs. The fire department may come by looking to inspect your fire extinguisher. If you have extra, please bring them. If you think you may have a problem, please let me know and we'll do everything we can to help.

Colton,CA. - Saturday May 12th

Saturday, May 12th, will be the date for the City of Colton Unity Day Celebration and Chili Cookoff. This cookoff features excellent prize money---$1,000 for red chili, $750 for chili verde, $300 for salsa and $100 for people's choice chili! There are also good money prizes for 2nd and 3rd places in red, chili verde and salsa!

For those of you who have been here in the past, it is at a different park, as there is renovation being done to the previous venue. To reach Chavez Park, take I10 to 9th Street in Colton; go North to "E" Street; turn right to the park. Fellow chiliheads, Tom and Judy Clarke, work hard every year to put on a quality cookoff. Show them your support by "showing up"! The first 25 teams get a nice goodie bag. We guarantee decent weather (not as hot as it's been!), and fair and honest judging!

.

Hope to see you there.

Bill and Karen Ray
