We've been talking about a Pacific Northwet Hotluck for about 3 years and it hasn't got past the dream stage! All that is needed is someone (thanks, Chris!) setting a date, time and place. However, for people like me who can't travel to Portland due to work conflicts, I am finally in a position to plan an event closer to Seattle. I have access to a park in Kent across from the new Kent Public Market where we would be able to use the bathrooms and a nice kitchen. This could to be in July or August when we have a chance of having some sunshine for an outside event. We already have an annual Chili Cookoff that we could "enhance" with our presence! Shall we have a "spring thaw" in Portland and a summer event in Kent? We have enough Chileheads in the Northwet for multiple parties! Peggy Seattle's Chile Babe
