A few important, and 11th hour details and announcements... Please READ and PLEASE volunteer if you are able! The success of this event depends on all of us being involved.
Goodie Bags - To thank the Saturday chili cooks for their contribution and time (they have to cook onsite in the tent), we will be giving each cook a goodie bag. Bags are being donated by Rustic Mountain Charm. We need donations of chotchkie items for the bags from local businesses, please. Promotional items (like things with your logo on them, hint, hint) such as mugs, magnets, gift certificates, coupons, pens, paper pads, key chains, etc. are all typical for goodie bags, --but it can be anything. We'll need at least 20 of each item (one for each cook). Please drop off goodies at Rams Horn Village, Snowy Peaks Winery or Estes Park Condos as soon as possible. If you have questions, please contact...

At most, you and four individuals can attend and utilize the opportunity to market your restaurant to locals and out of towners. Again, Sunday chili participation is FREE! Please contact....
