Costalegre Rotary Chili Cookoff

The 7th Annual Costalegre Rotary Chili Cookoff January 26th on the Barra de Vavidad Plaza.  This fund raiser is for various community projects around the bay

The Chili Cookoff is an afternoon of tasting some amazing chili all prepared by local contestants who are divided up into amateur and professional cooks. The winners are chosen by votes cast by the cookoff attendees. These contestants donate 100% of their time and all their ingredients for this event. There is no cash awarded to the winners – only token prizes. Why do they do it? Some do it for bragging rights or just for the fun of it, but ALL of them do it to put something back into this community!

Costalegre Rotary Chili Cookoff

Last Saturday was the Chili Cookoff for the local Rotary to raise funds for some of their projects. How much they raised and for what is still unknown but it was a fun party with music and performances from the Ballet Xalixco, the local Folklorico group. This was the most gringos I've seen in one place in Mexico.

I took the kids over and they were kind of bored except for the hot-dogs, pop and the dancers. Old time rock-n-roll didn't really do it for them. We bought Mari a 'cookoff' apron with red trim ... that ruined the wash a few days later when the color ran. I wonder if the Rotary fund can replace this Mexican famlies clothes (grin). Just and idea!
