Again' I'd like to announce the 2nd annual Summer Solstice Hotluck & Chili Cookoff being held on Father's Day, 21 June, starting about noon. In association with the Chili Appreciation Society International (CASI) and the Chileheads list, we hope to have the seminal event of the season at the Recreation site at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. This is a beautiful site that would be perfect rain or shine. There are large covered pavilions with running water and electricity. There will be a sanctioned Chili cookoff with all proceeds to benefit charity. Entrance to the area, as well as all the chilehead fare is free! We are planning on setting up a Hot Sauce Tasting Bar, so if anyone has a favorite sauce, salsa or condiment, feel free to bring it along and share. (Any vendors out there who would like to send samples, we promise not to turn them down!) We are also expecting a hunk of Jim Campbells world famous "Bread." (Be Afraid!) Along with my Chpotle Marinated Portabellas I expect to haul my smoker along and smoke up some steaks and ribs. Think of what a great treat this would be to any lucky Dad! Bring the whole family... More info, details and maps will be posted at: http://www.exit109.com/~mstevens/hotfest.html as the event approaches. =Mark @ http://www.exit109.com/~mstevens @ @ ICQ# 2059548 @ I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a pre-frontal lobotomy...
