Thanksgiving Back-2-Back Regionals!

Don't forget! After the turkey, there's a DOUBLE HEADER at the Avi Casino in Laughlin, Nevada, on the Friday and Saturday immediately after Thanksgiving! We're expecting our usual sunny, comfortable days. Cook on the grass overlooking the beautiful Colorado River at one of the most gorgeous cook-off venues around!

.

The Avi Casino is a multi-faceted, full-service casino including the largest swimming pool in Laughlin, a wonderful on-site theatre, and all of the casino games you expect. There's even an on-site child care service! This is one of the few cookoffs where you actually have plenty of time to socialize with the other cooks! Call 1-800-AVI-2WIN and ask for the discounted rooms code "CHILI 09."

.

Chief Judge is Jim Maehl; Head Scorekeeper is Donnie Gordon; Chairperson, Susie Baumberger; Head Wrangler, Ron Burt (2002 WCCC Red Champion). People's Choice both days. Sign up online at www.chilicookoff.com, or by e-mailing me at susanbaumberger@yahoo.com
