From Kim Hiley:
As all of you know we lost a wonderful friend and chili cook a couple of weeks ago. Scott, "The Big Kahuna", Knight left us to join other chili cooks at the "Grandest Cook-off" in Heaven.... This Saturday in honor of Scott we would like to have a moment of silence and a toast to honor him. This being said, we are asking those of you that have Hawaiian Shirts to please bring them and wear them at least for the toast. If you don't have one please come see me as I have several extras that you can borrow. I picked up a few more today to help everyone. Christine will also be there for the toast.
Please let me know if you have any questions. My phone number is 210-286-4275 and email kdhiley@yahoo.com

There has been several people email me regarding the cookoff location. The cookoff and 42 tournament will be at the KOA-RV Park, which is located across the street from the casino.
Here are some of the details of the Park. There are 77 – 12’ x 80’ concrete pull-thru pads, hourly security patrols, patios, picnic tables, grills, free Wi-Fi and cable TV.
The main building where the 42 tournament and judging will be held has a full kitchen, plasma TV, vending machines, laundry room, restrooms with showers, pool tables, air hockey and shuffleboard. Oh, and the most important item – AIR CONDITIONING!
You can go to www.choctawcasinos.com to see a full listing for the RV Park, get directions and print a site map.
