They will be selling tasting kits so please bring give away chili if you have any.

I will be running the judging for them as this is their first time at this.

The store is located on the southeast corner of Buisness 249 and highway 2920 in the center of downtown Tomball.  From Houston come up highway 249 to where it splits and take buisness 249 to highway 2920 it is on your right.

From the Austin side come down highway 290 to Waller and take highway 2920 to the left into Tomball .  When you cross buisness 249 it will be on your right.

The cookoff will be held on the north side of the store.

As with all HEB stores TABC rules say no open containers so please keep all alcohol in cups and out of sight..
