Here's a reminder about the new cookoff out here in California this Saturday, October 10th. It's Cowboy Joe's Ultimate Chili Cookoff, held in conjunction with the Stage Coach Fever art show. It's at the Victor Valley Museum in Apple Valley, California, and proceeds benefit the Museum Association. They have a lot of activities scheduled, including apple pie cooking and eating contests, Wild West gunslinger shows, and lots of vendors and other things to see and do. The weather should be great for chili cooking, with a predicted high of 80 degrees and lots of sunshine (this is high desert country, very similiar to Terlingua, so you'll need a jacket in the morning).
As you know, there are not a lot of CASI events out here in this part of the country, so this is a great chance to get an early start on your points for 2010. The entry fee is $25, and turn-in time is at 2:00 pm. Please come to sunny California and help us promote Chili, Charity, and Fun CASI-style!
