In My Last Post I spoke about a Chili Cook Off Fund Raiser.
One thing to remember is tha it is not REALLY Chili CookOff.
Those events go to great efforts to be Fair and ensure through Blind Taste Testing etc that the Best Chili Wins.
That is NOT what we do.
Our goal is to have FUN and Raise MONEY period.
Yes we always have some really good Chili and I enjoy tasting every one of the entries.
But a rigourous judging of quality is NOT the purpose.
A few years ago one of our Members noticed that it was possible to buy extra tickets.
He asked me if it would be Fair for him to buy a lot of tickets and vote on his Son's entry.
My reply was, "It's a FUND Raiser Dan!" "Here is a 5 dollar Bill, add that to what you were going to spend and let's Fix it so your Boy wins."
In other words
Do not take it too seriously,
Do not make it too complicated.
Try to see that everyone has FUN
And we Raise some MONEY
