Well, here it is Friday. Everybody is scurring to be ready to cook tomorrow. There are a lot of CCOs to choose from.

From Mikie McGarity:
Nick and I hope you’re planning to come to Paradise this week-end. We have a jam packed 2 days full of fun and friendship. We have room to park your RV (no hookups). If the weather is bad, there’s room to cook “under cover”. We have some unique competitions (other than chili) planned for you. Our volunteer fire department is very excited and look forward to seeing you.

We will do Saturday night hospitality (pizza and NASCAR) in our living room.

Please note that we will have a 1:00 turn-in for chili on Saturday.


There is a fun Valentine Massacre CCO at Water Valley, TX. It is a 2 day event. There will be lots of fun for everyone. The weather is suppose to be great. Beat those Winter Blues. Come cook and enjoy. Janice

There is a 2 day CCO om Terlingua. Tonight, turn in is 7 PM. Tomorrow if you win, you will be the proud owner of the Bronze Roadrunner.

If you are in the vacinity of Hernando, MS, you can attend the Lions Club CCO.

There is also a 2 day CCO in Bandera. It is being held at the Pioneer RV Park.

Good Luck to all of you!

We are getting close to the half way point of this chili year. Each pod needs to review the credential criteria and make sure that they have plans to complete each requirement before Sept 30.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to each if you.
