2010 WCCC

.

I only formalized the agreement with the City of Manchester for the WCCC this past Saturday afternoon. Further details will be posted on the ICS website and the blog ASAP. The Radisson Hotel is our host property and sponsor. It is directly across the street from the site – Veteran's Park. The special code for chili cooks and judges will NOT be in affect until later this week when they can enter the information into their system. If you call for reservations and don't get the chili rate, call back later. The park is surrounded by restaurants, bars and shopping. The parking lot for the cooks/judges is also directly across the street. Southwest Airlines has direct flights into Manchester-Boston airport which is five minutes from downtown.

WCCC 2010 in Manchester, NH Insider's Guide

.

As 25+ year residents of the area, Mary Alice and I are preparing an "Insider's Guide" to Manchester. We plan to give a list of grocery stores, Wal-Mart's, Targets, Sams, BJ's, and Costco locations. Where you can find good produce, tri-tip, and more. We also plan a list of restaurants and watering holes in a variety of locations and price ranges. We'll also include a list of sightseeing ideas, shopping malls, cultural events and more. We know the area very well and I actually work only a few blocks from the cookoff site. If there is anything you want included, please let us know.

.

If you have any other questions about the area or anything we can help you with please feel free to contact us.

.

We'll be happy to help in any way we can.
