Wow! Summer is almost over and it's time to start thinking about getting ready for our 8th Annual Chili Cook Off and Classic Car Show!   Last year's Chili Cook Off & Car Show grossed over $6000 .  The attendance was phenomenal, and though we ran out of nearly everything, everyone had a good time. 

The band was provided by our good friend Ty, the fastest checker at Raleys, who gathered several of his friends together and though they had never played together before, their performance was awesome.  What I particularly liked was the way they engaged our clients in their performance, drawing them in and focusing on them. This year the band will be even better as "Betsy Moore and the Ripleys"!

Last year We had over 40 classic cars show up and were they ever beautiful! This year the Classes are pre-1950, 1951-1973, Pickups older than 1973, and we are having some cars show as for Display only.  We are expecting even more cars to come this year.

Last year we had eleven chili cooks who worked tirelessly, some of them arriving at 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning to set up, ready to create their unique chili. It was very difficult to decide which chili was the best but somehow our panel of judges was able to determine the winners.  We're aiming for at least 25 chili cooks this year!!  For all who attend we will have increased shaded areas and more tables will be provided for everyone's comfort.

Don't miss this fun event with something for everyone.  To enter the cook off or car show, or just to learn more about the event, click on the "Chili Cook Off" button to the right of the page and read all about it.  I hope to see you there!
