District Chili Cookoff - Rancho Cordova, CA

Dear Chilhead Friends,

.

Many of you have complained about the lack of District Cookoffs. Well, I am happy to announce I just signed up a new DISTRICT Cookoff here in Rancho Cordova, CA. It is Saturday, August 18th at Hagan Park (Formerly Geothe Park) along the banks of the American River in Rancho Cordova.

.

I realize this is very short notice, But, I need as many of you as possible. COOKS AS WELL AS JUDGES. The charity is "Catch the Spirit". They are a group of service clubs here in Rancho Cordova (Elks, Rotary, the City Police Dept, Scouts and the City of Rancho Cordova). They gather donations of food, money and Toys for Christmas baskets for our local military families in need. Due to the war, many of our military heroes have done several tours of duty. This puts an added strain and burden on the already cash strapped families. Many go without during the holidays. The local community and media have jumped all over this project. It promises to be a great event.

.

In addition to the ICS District cookoff, they will be doing a Western States BBQ contest, local restaurants steak and burger cookoff, and many more. (They have asked chili cooks to judge some of these events)

.

The event begins on Friday. "Catch the Spirit" has invited ALL chili contestants to join them on Friday afternoon and evening for plenty of FREE food, music and fun.

.

Saturdays ICS event will begin early. Red prep 10-11, stoves on at 11:00 with turn in at 2:00pm.

We realize Voni and John have their big Reno Regional on Sunday the 19th. John and Voni's AWESOME kickoff party and steak BBQ starts at 4:30 and will go most of the evening. John has told me to let him know who will be arriving a little late and he will make sure to have plenty of steaks for you. With a 2:00pm turn in time, we can get you out of town by 3:00, that gives you plenty of time to get to Reno for the Medcraft's party.

.

If you are NOT planning on attending the Reno Regional, I would encourage you to stay all day and participate in the People's Choice event. The Elks will supply ALL of the ingredients for you. Meat, spices, beans, etc. They are also offering a big $ prize for BEST People's Choice Chili.

.

At this point I am trying to get the required 7 red chili's to make a legal event. If you are interested at all, please let me know as soon as possible. First place Red Chili is $650.00 plus a FREE place in Omaha's Last Chance Chili Cookoff. $650 will make a nice dent in travel expenses. NOT BAD….

.

If you are interested in Chili Verde and/or Salsa, let me know that as well and if we get the 7 teams, we will do those events as well. Prizes and trophies for 2nd and 3rd place Red Chili as well as 1st – 3rd in Chile Verde and Salsa, if we do those.

.

PLEASE REPLY AS SOON AS YOU KNOW YOU CAN COME!!!!!! I will then forward all other details you may require, directions, hotels, etc.
