SILVER STATE REGIONAL CHILI COOKOFF

.

MONTE LAGO VILLAGE LAKE LAS VEGAS

.

SATURDAY, JUNE 6^th.

.

WINNERS ADVANCES TO 2009 WCCC.

.

Lake Las Vegas I know a lot of you have never heard of it. It lies just a little North East of Henderson, Nevada a beautiful man-made lake. But rather than me tell you about it let's take a look at it through the miracle of your computer. Just slide on over to: www.lakelasvegas.com and take a look at the beautiful pictures on their website. Note the rather large yacht on the Lake which impressed the hell out of me. It is like taking a mini vacation to Europe without the long airplane ride and the annoying jet lag and you can leave your passport at home. Imagine yourself cooking chili on the streets of Portofino or Rome or maybe even Venice! And if you're Italiano is not so good we will find you a good interpreter.

.

I know there are a couple of you out there that are saying why are you having a cookoff in June in southern Nevada? Yes it will be a little warm but remember it is a dry heat. All you need is a water spray bottle like the one you might find at Smart & Final and you have instant air-conditioning. It really works quite well in the low humidity. Average humidity is 9%. With the Lake only a stone's throw away it should provide a nice breeze. You will be able to drive your vehicle to your cooking area to unload and we will have golf carts to ferry you back from the parking area. And of course take you back to your vehicle after the cookoff is over. There is a set of commercial sinks in the judging area for the cook's to use washing up, first-class. We have an excellent judges panel most of which are ICS members and cooks or have judged at the WCCC. Here is a chance to cook chili with a European feel, and who knows it could be you advancing to the World's Championship Chili Cookoff. And for the cooks in the rest of this great country I extend to you an invitation as well. There are some great bargains on accommodations to be had right now in Las Vegas. And what happens in Vegas doesn't necessarily stay in Vegas. We will have to post the names of the winners. So come and join us at Monte Lago Village Lake Las Vegas for some fun in the sun and lots of shade too. If you have any questions or are coming to cook or judge please feel free to contact me at: chiliheadjim@aol.com or 702-336-1941
