We are holding the CASI Guanajuato International Cook-Off on January 29, 2011 in San Miguel de Allende. San Miguel was just named "One of the Ten Top Vacation Destinations in the World" by Travel and Leisure magazine. It's a great place to qualify (1st, 2nd and 3rd, qualify for TICC!) and a great place to have a wonderful vacation experience. We are providing everyone with 10 lbs. (the kilo equivalent) of ground meat and a large pot, so they can also participate in our People's Choice category too. In addition, we have a charro bean competition and of course, margaritas -- all with great prizes.
There is an information website for all the travel details: http://ssanmiguelinformation.blogspot.com/ and another for all the registration info: http://www.chiliandcharros.com/. We have a Chili and Charros Facebook page too!
We hope to see lots of CASI cooks this winter in beautiful and
historic, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico!
From Happy Hinman:
Here's the flyer for the Medina County Fair (Hondo) cookoff. Please be there early, the West gate used for Chili entrants will be used for fair attendees at 10 am. If you don't beat the rush you will have to wait in line. One day cookoff only, but it's been over a year in the making. Great venue, lots of trees, close bathrooms and plenty of parking where you can drive in at set up your canopy. Cash prizes mentioned in the flyer are for the local cookoff only. Cooks fairground entry is covered with the entry fee. They sell beer so if you bring your own you need to be cool about it. Hope to see you there. Turn in time is 2:30 and the gates will be open until 7 for those that want to attend the exhibits after the cookoff.
NOTE: After a great deal of water, we are in Salado. There has been a lot of water and much of the area has been flooded. The water has receeded, but there is a lot of destruction. Despite all of that, we are going to have a great time. The people here are trying to make this a great event. All of you who are traveling today, please be save and we will see you soon.
If you are cooking this weekend, good luck!
