[mba] Reminder: This Saturday - Chili Cook-Off... oh yeah... and March Meeting

As seen on mnbrewers.com and facebook... Club Meeting – Saturday, March 6, 2010 noon-3pm Seventh Annual Chili Cook-Off and Swap Meet CSPS Hall, 383 Michigan St., St. Paul Once again, it is time for our annual Chili Cook-Off! There are three categories in which you can enter: Red Chili – meat, but NO beans Chili with Beans – not really chili, but we're here to have fun! Open – green, vegetarian, white, whatever Like previous years, we'll have everyone vote for their favorite for each category and then have everyone vote for their favorite overall. The winner of each category gets a prize and the overall winner gets a prize and the honor of bringing home the Chief Chili Pepper trophy! You can help out by bringing your chili ready to eat in crock pots and bringing along extension cords, power strips, and serving utensils. Bowls, spoons, and napkins will be provided. The March meeting also features a swap meet. Bring things you no longer need. I will be. Some of my items can just walk off, some can be purchased with beer currency. Bring some of your own stuff; maybe we can trade. Of course we welcome all the home brew you would like to bring to the meeting, especially beers that go well with chili. We even like mead and ciders. We'll also select an American Ale (BJCP Category 10 styles - American Pale Ale, American Amber Ale, and American Brown Ale) to send off to the club only competition. Bring your entry and if chosen the club will help send it to North Carolina. Greg Van De Mark River Falls, WI wanna.b(a)comcast.net
