This is the 8th year this will be taking place. Come join us for some fun, food, laughter, and some friendly competition! We are hoping Thursday evening to procure some pontoon boats and take a ride across the lake to get dinner on property. Then Friday as more folks roll in, we will provide hot dogs and beans along with some other yummy dishes with a roaring campfire. The most fun is always Saturday when we have the Chili Cook off where the winner gets to take home the traveling airstream trophy!

*Main event area will be 34, 16, & 14.*

Once you have found your site and gotten settled in, make your way over to site 34 or 14 (whichever the Argosy is in) to pick up your rally info! If no one is present, there will be a tote by the door with the rally info inside!
Upon arrival inside your rally info it will have the final itinerary and site information for events.

We will be at Guilford Lake SP (Campground) this year. Check out the calendar page here on Airforums for updated itinerary as things get planned out, all the reservation details, and plan to join us Sept 27-30, 2018!

Hope to see you there!!! Keep in mind this is a small state park so sites go fast!

(I am keeping a map running of who is joining us so let me know your site number please so we are sure to have enough goodies for you at check in!)

Airbiscuit · 09-19-2018, 01:33 PM

18 spots = approx 36 people for judging and chili lunch!!

So to answer the question about how much to make... at least 8 cups worth please!

Airbiscuit · 09-23-2018, 03:22 AM

If 8 cups is a bit.much, dont fret. Just dont expect leftovers!

Shads Shack · 09-23-2018, 08:16 AM

To All Chili lovers,

Sharlene and I must cancel our participation.

Unfortunately we've had to cancel our last couple of outings with you folks.

We will keep abreast of outings and hopefully will join up at a later date.

Have fun.

Mark Emerson

p.s. We had a killer chili entrant!
