Bronco Belly Bustin' Chili Fiesta

I just wanted to let you know about our Bronco Belly Bustin' Chili Fiesta on June 2nd in Hudson, NH. The event is the ICS state championship cook-off for New Hampshire. There will be live music, games for the kids, food, contests, and of course, great Chili to sample. The Chili Fiesta is easy to get to, on route 102 in Hudson, across from Alvirne High School. All proceeds from the event go to benefit music programs at the high school.
.
Information about the event may be found at our web site, http://www.chilifiesta.org. I notice you also have links on your site and if you'd like to put a link to our site from yours we'd love it.
.
Have a great day!
