___________________________________________________________
Starting at 10:30 until 11:30, there will be a GeoCaching 101 class presented by GeoMonkeyTiger! This is open to anyone.
Join us from 11:30 to 1:00 PM for the 2020, 14th annual Ed "Rebel" Handler Memorial Chili Cook-off! Bring an appetite and be prepared to vote for your favorite chili. Chili tasting will begin at noon!
All attendees will get an opportunity to vote for their favorites in the following categories:
- Best Traditional Chili (i.e. red, tomato-based, etc.)
- Best Non-Traditional Chili (i.e. white, verde, etc.)
- Best Chili Presentation
- Best Chili Hat
In your "Will Attend" log, please tell us if you plan on bringing chili.
Chili Chefs: Time to start working on your best chili recipe and fine-tuning it for the GGA crowd! You should plan to bring your pot of chili either prepared, or fairly close to prepared. The group shelter has electricity for crock pots, a small kitchen area, but nowhere to cook a full scale dish. The GGA will supply bowls, spoons, and napkins, but you should provide anything additional "accessories" you think will make your chili standout (Fritos, sour cream, chives, cheese, crab, biscuits, filet mignon, etc.). PLEASE ALSO BRING A CHILI SERVING UTENSIL. While we should be OK with electrical outlets, it would be helpful to bring an extension cord and power strip if you can, just in case we need them. You will be able to enter the shelter to set up starting at 11am.
NOTE: Please be prepared to list any unique ingredients, for the safety of those with specific food allergies. Such ingredients might include: peanuts, chocolate, shellfish, seafood, honey, MSG, etc.
Chili Eaters: Grab your chili boots and your best chili spoon and hope no one has spiced their chili with the merciless peppers of Quetzlzacatenengo! (GASP!), grown deep in the jungles primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum. (GASP, GASP!!)
Chili Hat Wearers: Grab your best chili hat and be ready to show off your chili loving headgear to the world!! For even more effect, add chili-shirts, chili-pants, and chili-boots to complete your ensemble!
Chili Presentation Specialists: Sure, your chili may be good, but without an award-winning chili presentation, who's going to stop by and try it? Decorate your chili service with boards, banners, streamers, LED lights, spotlights, chili-lights, chili-music, and anything else that will encourage people to stop by and try your chili!
NOTE: While the event is free, you must either have a GA State Parks parking pass, or pay $5 for a one day parking pass. Ample parking at the Group Shelter, near the boat ramp.
