Route 66 Regional Chili Cookoff

Calling all cooks! The 24th Annual Route 66 Regional Chili Cookoff will be this Saturday, June 9, in Flagstaff, AZ. Spots are still available for cooks. If you are coming and have a spouse who cooks red occasionally, please have them ready to cook this weekend, we might need them. I've got Sarah ready to cook too. Will need a count on how many are attending the cooks and judges dinner on Friday night also. Weather will be 80 degrees and sunny this weekend in Flagstaff, a bit warmer in Payson on Sunday for the Arizona State. Look forward to seeing you all here!

New Hampshire State Cookoff Results

It was a hot and humid day in southern New Hampshire, Hudson, to be exact. The clouds did threaten some rain, but they stayed away. Thankfully, the crowds didn't. The cooks and spectators were thoroughly entertained by a few bands, most notably the Alvirne High School Stage Band, under the direction of Gerry Bastien, District Coordinator. These kids are great and such a joy to listen to. The proceeds of the cookoff go to support the Alvirne High School Bands and Coral Groups. There were lots of games for the kids and lots of chili tasting going on.
