Correction to Space City POD's 30th Annual Chili Cook-off Results
1st Place was won by Scott Woodard, League City, TX
From Becky Allen:
We are excited to be having this one-time, evening CCO at Traders Village on Thursday, July 8. The TX Festivals & Events Assoc. (TFEA) is having their annual conference & trade show in Houston and their kick-off party will be held at Traders Village that same night. We were asked to put together a CCO to show festival organizers from across the state what a CCO consisted of and how they, too, might have one at their festivals. This is a great opportunity for us to showcase CASI to event organizers and potentially get new CCO’s in various parts of the state. I hope you will plan to come out and support this cook-off. These conference attendees will be the judges for both the margaritas and the chili, as well as the public for the People’s Choice margarita. (please make margaritas, if you can) We would also like to ask you to bring throw-down chili for their frito pie bar that will be part of their party food for the evening. Those that can, please put decorations at your cooking area and I also encourage those of you who can, to do show that evening. Both of these will only serve to show the attendees how much fun we have and how much a CCO would add to their events.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at becky@bbgumbo.com or 361.449.7636. Please let me know if you will bring throw-down chili. I look forward to seeing you on July 8!
It is Wednesday and here are the CCOs for this weekend.
