CAL CITY REGIONAL CHILI COOKOFF:TIME TO CIRCLE WAGONS

Once again March 28, 2009 is approaching fast and this means it will be time to circle the wagons. Friday afternoon will be the stew challenge which will also be dinner for all in attendance providing that Dirty Ole Phil gets enough contestants. So if you would like to impress us all with your culinary talents please let Phil know ASAP of your intentions. I will be eagerly waiting with fork in hand and bib around the neck to see who is going to be the Grand Kahuna of stewdum! Saturday morning means chili and firing up your pot for a chance to advance to The World's Championship Chili Cookoff to be held at in October. We have plenty of room for RVs dry camping on clean dirt. So if you are planning to bring your RV please let me know ASAP so we can reserve you a good spot. And remember those of you who do not have RVs and will be cooking, you will be able to cook right out of your vehicle on the clean dirt. This cookoff helps support the American Legion of California City which is dedicated to helping all of us veterans. There will be music provided by a disk jockey also raffles and of course the beer belly contest (which I'm still trying to work up too) and of course shoot and holler. The Notorious UGHLEE and world champion shoot and holler winner will be the Emcee. There is usually plenty of wildlife to see Dirty Ole Phil moving faster than normal, coyote serenading you at night and also the occasional bunny rabbit. After all Easter is almost upon us! So if you want to have a

supercalifragilisticexpialidociously amazing and unique time, BE THERE!
