Chili Ole'

and

Southern Colorado Regionals

(Back to Backs)

.

The Back to Back Regionals in Pueblo, Colorado are this weekend, May 16th and May 17th. We look forward to all cooks having a fun time and great weather all weekend (in the low 70's on Saturday, and the low 80's on Sunday). We have lots of Colorado cooks signed up, a couple from Arizona, and a cook from Texas. People's Choice can only be made "ON SITE", because of the Pueblo Health Dept., and $100 in Prize Money each day is going to be given to the cook with the most votes. Tasting cups will be sold, and after turn in times, chili can be given out. We will have Best Booth as well for $100 each day. Prize money and very nice looking trophies will be given to the winners.

Host hotel and location information can be found on the ICS website.
