Wild Wild West Fest

&

Southern Colorado Regionals

(Back to Backs)

.

We are going to have Back to Back Regional Cookoffs, May 15th and May 16th, in beautiful Pueblo, Colorado, during the Wild Wild West Fest, put together by the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce and the Professional Bull Riders, home based here in Pueblo. This will be a fun filled event beginning Wednesday, May 12th, and ending Sunday, May 16th. More than 10,000 people per day are expected to attend this local event. There will be downtown festivals, carnival rides, a Fan Zone, marketplace booths, and live entertainment.

Saturday will be the Wild Wild West Fest Regional. After Saturday's cookoff, there will be a cook's party at the Riverside Bar of Pueblo (my sister's establishment), with munchies, beer, and a cash bar for any other adult beverage. I will provide directions at Saturday's cookoff.

Sunday will be the Southern Colorado Regional, home of the first World's Green Chili Championship, started right here in Pueblo.

Because of regulations with the Pueblo Health Department, People's Choice chili has to be made on site, not brought from home. We would appreciate all of you making People's Choice, since it is our only money maker on the days of the cookoffs. Also, there will a $100 prize each day for the People's Choice winner.

We will be located between B and C Street on historic Union Avenue. Set up time will be from 7:00 to 8:00 A.M. both days. You will be able to unload on Union, and then park your vehicle just around the corner on B Street. Chief Judge will be Bob Plager, and Chief Scorekeeper will be Kathy Plager.

The entry fees will be $35.00 for Red Chili, $30.00 for Chili Verde, and $15.00 for Salsa. We will waive one entry fee for non ICS members, if they pay their ICS membership fee. Prize money each day will be $300.00 for 1st, $200.00 for 2nd, and $100.00 for 3rd, for both Red and Chili Verde, and $100.00 for 1st in Salsa. Best Booth and People's Choice will receive $100.00 each day. All the winners will advance to the 2010 World's Championship.

Turn in times will be 12:00 P.M. for Salsa, 1:00 P.M. for Chili Verde, and 2:30 P.M. for Red Chili. People's Choice will start at 12:00 P.M. The Cooks Meeting will be at 9:00 A.M. Light your fires for Chili Verde at 10:00 A.M., and 11:30 A.M. for Red Chili.

The location is easy to find. From I-25 North or South, take the 1st Street exit, and head west. At the second stop light, turn left on South Main, until you get to C Street. Turn right, and follow the cookoff signage to Union Avenue. After you unload, you can park around the corner on B Street.

I am still trying to get a host hotel for Chili Cooks. I will let you know if I find one. Look forward to seeing all of you in May!
