I would like to remind all of the cooks who are participating in the Worlds Championship Chili Cookoff that you need to use a Coleman type propane stove. Please do not try to use a white gas camping stove (this drives the fire marshal nuts). I will have a couple of stoves available if you find that yours has failed. Once again we will have propane on sale for three dollars a bottle. Exact change appreciated. We will also have ice available for the cooks. There are ice machines at the end of the hallways in the hotel as well. We will let you know were the ice will be available at the cooks meeting.

Good luck, and good chili cooking.

UTAH STATE

Bad news….. Jeff Ray cannot help us with coordinating our cook-off this year. Between the Health Dept issues and this we have decided to cancel this year's event. I will be in contact with everyone that has already registered with ICS. Hopefully, we can make this work sometime in the future.

Thanks –
