SOUTHERN COLORADO
AND CHILI OLE' REGIONALS
Southern Colorado Regional teams up with Chili Ole', B2B Regionals
SIX Winners Qualify for the ICS Worlds Championships
It's getting to be crunch time. September 22nd and 23rd Pueblo and the Pueblo Convention Center will be hosting a two day qualifier to get six of our great cooks ready for Omaha in October. The southern Colorado Regional was the site of the first World Green Championship, long before green chili was recognized by the ICS. In fact our cookoff back then was almost exclusively Green Chili (Chili Verde to the ICS) and the Red Chili portion was actually Chili Concarne, not ICS no beans allowed chili. We have decided to hold these cookoffs in conjunction with the Pueblo Chili and Frijole Festival. Pueblo has some of the greatest green chilis available anywhere, and during this weekend, all the farmers from the area roast and sell their chilis at the historic Union Avenue District. They also have fresh vegetables for sale, ethnic food stands, hundreds of various vendors, and Entertainment Tents with music and livations that continue late into the evening.The Festival is but a block away from the Convention Center.
Also, in conjunction with our cookoffs, the Convention Center hosts a wonderful art show and sale, with many local and nationally reknown artists displaying their artwork.This complete event usually draws over 30,000 people per day, so have plenty of People's Choice available.
The cookoff schedule for both days is:
7:30 set-up and sign in,
9:00 cook's meeting,
10:00 Green begins,
11:00 Red begins,
12:00 Salsa turn in,
1:00 Green turn in,
2:00 Red turn in ,
and 3:30 awards.
.
Each day the prizes will be:
Red
$200 first,
$100 second
and $50 third,
same for the Green Chili,
Salsa
$100 first
and People's Coice $100.
.
The location is easy to get to. Take I-25 north or south to exit 98B. Go west two stoplights to South Main, go left at the light-Convention Center is on the left. We will have some parking reserved for the cooks after unloading. Looking forward to seeing everyone and all will have a grand time.
