SATURDAY - Jan. 16, 2010

Rhode Island State

The hotel for the Rhode Island State Chili Cook Off is the Sheraton Providence Airport. http://www.sheratonprovidenceairport.com/ We have secured a discounted rate of $89 a night until 2-28. You should mention "Winter Chili Festival". If the Sheraton is not to your liking,there are many other hotels in the area for you to choose from.

We will also have a BIG cooks welcome party at the Shearaton the night before (2-26) from 7-9 p.m.

The Sheraton is kind enough to provide a shuttle to and from the cook off with groups of 10 or more. If you would rather drive yourself,the address for the Providence Convention Center is One Sabin St. Providence. I will leave directions at the front desk. Please park on the fifth floor.

Remember that we can only use one pound propane bottles. We will provide you with a table and a chair or two.

Music will be provided by a Fire Fighters band called The Heavy Rescue Band www.heavyrescueband.com

For any cooks that are flying in I will bring you a stove if you let me know that you need one.

If you need anything else,please contact me at madmike@chilict.com

Kat and I are looking forward to seeing you Feb.27,2010 in Rhode Island!
