Thanksgiving Back-to-Back Regional's

At Avi Casino

Once again, the Avi Casino in Laughlin, Nevada, will host the Thanksgiving Back-to-Back Regional's on Friday, November 27, 2009 (Mojave Desert Regional), and Saturday, November 28, 2009 (High Desert Robinson Regional). We usually have fantastic weather, competitive cooking, and an all-around great time. The cooking area is on the grass (easy on the feet!), with a beautiful view of the Colorado River -- one of the most beautiful cooking venues in the ICS schedule! There's live music, and lots of interesting vendors. One of the really great things about the Thanksgiving Back-to-Back is that the Avi Casino is a smaller, more intimate casino, so the cooks' after-hours socializing is maximized! Chief Judge is Jim Maehl, Scorekeeper is Donnie Gordon, and Chairperson is Susie Baumberger.

Ghon Eckley Request

Hey folks instead of beating the cook off drum for Maryland State, I have a request of all of my chili friends. My daughter Linda is doing the Breast Cancer 3 day walk the weekend of WCCC. I read her personal donation page and I welled up. She is walking in the 3 day to honor her aunt a survivor, and in memory of Kim's mom and my mother, her grandmother that she is named after, that she will never meet. Time is short, because of her busy college schedule she is unable to beat on doors to get support. I know that times are tight and the economy is in the crapper so if you can't support her at this time I understand. But if you could muster up 5 dollars or more it would make her that much closer. Please take a look at her page and if you feel that you could get behind her thank you. If you could also leave her a little word of encouragement on her message board that would be great also. Thank you all so much for your time.

Ghon Eckley
