Hope you can join us this week-end in Paradise for the annual McChili Mc-Hog-In. We have a jam packed day planned starting at 10:00 with the Omelet and Bloody Mary turn-in. Then it’s time to get those beans ready by noon for the jackpot competition. Chili is judged at 2:00. All proceeds of the cookoff benefit our area volunteer fire departments that desperately need our money and support because of all the wild fires in our area. Don’t know how to get to Paradise? Just give Nick a call and he’ll guide you in (817-975-0484). Overnight camping (no hook-ups). We hope you can make it. We’d love to have you!” (Mikie and Nick McGarity)

“33 cooks traveled to Bergheim, TX for a day trip only cookoff – what a nice setting with all the entrants cooking together and socializing from setting up to packing up. Cooks were greeted on arrival with hot coffee and breakfast TACO’s which hit the spot under the sunny skies. Past Terlingua Champions Pat Pilchiek, Honey Jones, Maxine Reed and our current Champion Margaret Nadeau shared some cooking tips to 4 first time chili cooks.

At the announcements Cookoff Chairman Bruce Jones said that part of the money raised will be donated to the preservation of the schoolhouse.
