From Cynthia Gill:

We hope that everyone is planning to attend Chili and Charros in San Miguel de Allende this January 28th. It is an amazing event. This year, we have online signup available at http://www.chiliandcharros.com/ Our website has all kinds of information on the different competitions, our wonderful prizes and travel info too. Be sure and watch the video of last year's event. Also, click "Like" on our Chili and Charros Facebook page to get updates on great places to stay, restaurants and more. Remember, we are an international CASI event, so first 3 places in Chili qualify and 1st in Show.

To make travel arrangement simpler, we have a SMA travel agent who can help you with all the details. Her name is Judy Newell and her US phone number is 949-300-3686. If you want accommodations with a kitchen, Judy can help with that as well. San Miguel has lovely historic homes for vacation rental and a variety of hotels to choose from in any price range. Continental/United from Houston and American Airlines from Dallas operate a number of non-stop flights each day into nearby Leon, Mexico (BJX). One of the many ground transportation services will get you from the Leon airport to San Miguel. Most of these can be booked online if making your own arrangements.

For any cook-off info or travel advice, you can call me at 281-480-1912. (you can also browse our travel blog at http://sanmiguelinformation.blogspot.com/) Our cook-off entry fee includes 10 lbs of meat. We supply tents, tables and big pots for those who want to enter People's Choice chili or the Charro Bean Contest. Our propane bottles are the big ones, so please bring an adaptor. (I hear they are inexpensive and are available at Academy.) Don't forget your passport!

Hope to see you this January in beautiful and historic San Miguel!

From Dana Plocheck:

The December Trails is available for viewing! It’s another big issue with pictures of the winners from all the events at TICC.

Enjoy!

 

From Carrie Kinnison:

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Highland Lakes Pod thanks everyone that came and supported the CCO at Marble Falls this past weekend. Started out with golf on Friday for some, pizza for the cooks meal and lots of bowling, chili cooking and fellowship.

We hope you have put the News Years CCO at the American Legion in Kingsland on your list. NOTICE.... There has been a change in the venue for New Year Eve. Instead of a PJ party as advertised , we will have a Potluck meal with music and fellowship. Contact Carrie 281-615-2408/cak@erfw.net on what to bring for the community breakfast (Saturday and Sunday). New Years Eve the pod will furnish the ham and black eye peas for the potluck meal and everyone can bring whatever they want to fill in. See you there!
