The Silver State Regional is fast approaching (May 17, 2008) and we are in the planning stages for this annual event.

For planning purposes we would like to know if you are planning to participate, we will be doing salsa $15 entry, Chili Verde $25 entry and traditional red chili $35 entry. So if you are planning on cooking or judging please let us know so we can be prepared. People's choice chili will be prepared by the local merchants. The cookoff will be held at Petrack Park located on the corner of Highway 160 and Basin Road.

There will be a BBQ at the park on Friday, May 16^th from 6-8 PM for all Cooks and Judges. Price is $5.00 per person with a no host bar.

Whittier Ca. District Cook-off

April 19th.

This event is held at a great location, last year public attendance was ok. The Chairperson & I would like to advance this cook-off to a Regional. To do this as you all know we need 20 cooks (last year we had 13).

.

I know some of you cooks do not like to cook Districts (remember two wins will get you in the world). I would like to mention that we have lost a number of Regional's lately in Southern California. So please help us to make this a Regional. We need another April Regional !!!!

.

Thanks in Advance for your support
