ICS MESSAGE

.

ATTENTION ALL CHAIRMEN

.

Please be sure to get correct information out there to your cooks! We're seeing on some flyers that the membership fees do not reflect the increase made in December – they are now $50.

.

Have even seen reference to semi finals on some – that is wrong information – we have not had that in many years!

If you don't know what to put on the flyer in regard to the date/venue for the WCCC, keep it simple – just putting that it will be held in the fall will do. You, as chairmen, are responsible for what the cooks need to know and for any difference in membership fees if cooks are paying the old fee.

.

If you find you need a copy of the rules please contact the ICS office and we'll gladly get them to you.

There have been numerous questions about People's Choice Chili at Silver State Regional. I talked to the sponsors (Sonrisa Grill) and YES, we will have People's Choice competition... 1st Place $200, 2nd Place $100 and 3rd Place $50. The judging area has a kitchen which has been approved by the Health Department for washing dishes. Still working on accommodations.

We should be ok with the health dept., but come prepared. You know how they are.
.
The location is 1 Town Square, in Murrieta., 2 blocks west (toward the mountain) off the I 15 at the Kalmia/ Calif Oaks exit. If you're coming South. on the I 215, take the Murrieta Hot Springs exit right to the I 15 north.
.
Again, turn off at Kalmia/Cal Oaks. Go west (left). Turn left at the first street past Jefferson (it won't have a name). Adams St. is too far.
.
There's gonna be some great country bands competing to open for a Tommy Cash concert in October, a beer fest and soda pop competion, and lots of food and fun. For the chili cooks bringing an RV, someone will be there to direct you. There is a Farmer Boys restaurant within walking distance.
.
Proceeds go to the Murrieta Chamber and the Musicians workshop. We need cooks to make this a success so it can continue.

We need judges too.
For more info call chief judge Bob Dyer at 951-244-7763.
