2009 CARSON VALLEY COOKOFFS

The 17^th Annual Carson Valley Chili Cookoff & Craft Fair sponsored by the Carson Valley Sertoma Club will be a two day back-to-back Regional on Saturday & Sunday, April 25 & 26, 2009 at the Carson Valley Inn (CVI) located on US 395 in Minden, Nevada, about 14 miles south of Carson City.

. Entry fees are $35 for Red - $25 for Green - $15 for Salsa. PLEASE register either on the web or by mail ahead of time because it really helps to know how many will be competing in which categories.

.

It will be held in the parking lot between the General Store/Gas station and the Hotel/Casino alongside US 395. You can set up any time after 10 AM Friday or before 9 AM Saturday. We will provide some degree of security Friday and Saturday night but due to the open exposure we cannot guarantee complete security. The CVI has insisted that nothing be driven into the asphalt. Please cooperate with us on this. Our local fire department now requires one fire extinguisher per booth. (They didn't say what type or how big.)

.

David & Kathy Hipskind will again be our chief judge and scorekeeper. Thanks to you two.

.

The CVI has blocked a limited number of rooms and RV spaces at reduced rates. Reservations can be made at 1-800-321-6983, Ext 1 and be sure to mention Group # 501646. Your Group # for internet reservations http://www.cvinn.com/ is 969165.

We look forward to seeing you and if you have any questions, please contact me at 775-265-5463 or MrFritz@charter.net .
