It was a beautiful weekend in Apple Valley. Dinner Friday night was delicious. Once again the Rotary Club provided plenty of good food and announced that in the last 6 years this cookoff has raised over $100,000 for their Children's Literacy Program. This year they will be donating a book to 1^st graders and a dictionary to 3^rd graders in the name of each cook, judge, scorekeeper and every other volunteer. Saturday morning begins with the Rotary again feeding everyone in the form of pancake breakfast to all the cooks and volunteers. Then things got busy… It seems they bought around $3,000 of air time and the station decided they could do better for a good cause and gave them around $30,000 of air time. The gates opened at 10am and people were running out of People's Choice by 11am. BIG crowd all day! Kathy Martin was one again Chairman ably supported by Tony & Donna Inglese. Tony was given the credit and blame for originating and maintaining this cookoff. Thank you Tony, we all love it. Jim Maehl was Chief Judge; Scorekeepers: Donnie Gordon, MaryEllen Weber, Louise Dinneweth and Nicole Caimi supported by Willma Maehl and Wranglers Phil Morosky and Carol Stiles and 3 young persons back for their 3^rd or 4^th year whose names I didn't get.

BEATTY, NEVADA - REGIONAL

.

Just a reminder for the chili heads coming to the Beatty Days Cook Off... When coming into town, speed limit is 70 and lowers quickly, to 45 mph, to 35 mph, down to 25 mph. Driving 24 mph is the best idea here in Beatty.

.

We are having a get together Friday night, (Halloween, one place is having costume party) and the Pot Luck on Saturday Night with Poker Tournament. See you all in Beatty!
