[mba] March Meeting / Chili Cookoff Competition Coming Up

Once again, it is time for our annual Chili Cook-Off Competition! We will be exercising our taste buds next Saturday, March 15 from 2:00pm to 5:00pm at the CSPS Hall. 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 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. If you’re not entering a chili dish, please bring something else to share with the group. We want to make sure there is enough things to eat for everyone who shows up. We could really use 4 to 6 folks to show up one hour earlier and some folks to stay a little later so that there are enough people to set up and break down the tables. We will be looking for judges for each of the categories and have everyone vote for their favorite overall. The winner of each category gets a prize and the People’s Choice winner gets a prize and the honor of bringing home the Chief Chili Pepper trophy! The March meeting also features a swap meet. Bring things you no longer need. You can sell them, use beer currency, give them away, even swap! 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 meads and ciders.
