Come one, come all and enjoy the hospitality of the Route 66 Casino and Hotel in Rio Puerco, NM for the 2010 Southwest Regional and New Mexico State Chili Cookoffs! To be held August 7 and 8, this will be the 2nd year the event will take place at this casino, only 20 minutes from downtown Albuquerque on I-40.

Tents are set up like the World's, along with tables and chairs. There are no entry fees, provided you supply 2+ gallons of People's Choice chili. Also, along with the cookoff, there is a huge car show with over 250 classic cars and hot rods.

They are offering a special room rate of $66.00 for each night of the cookoff. Good prize money each day and 3 chances to qualify for the WCCC each day. Chief Judge is Bob Plager, ably assisted by Kathy Plager, Chief Scorekeeper. Hope to see you for a fun weekend in the Land of Enchantment! .
