Chili Cook-Off 2011!
Greetings! 

Hope this email warms you on this "chili" day!

The Ride for the Feast Committee and I are hosting a Chili Cook-Off! We hope this helps RFTF participants jump-start their 2011 fundraising efforts, while providing an opportunity to meet fellow RFTF supporters.

The Chili Cook-Off will be held Sunday, February 27th at the offices of Moveable Feast, located at 901 N. Milton Avenue, Baltimore MD 21205. Doors will open at 1pm; winners will be announced at 3pm.

Sign up soon, since space is limited. Click here to fill out your entry form and return to Amanda Fisher (afisher@mfeast.org) by Friday, February 11.

 

Hope to see you there,

 

J. Peter Castro

2011 RFTF Committee Chair


Who Can Compete?   

 

We allow ONE chili recipe per Chili Team. 

 

  • One Chili Team per RFTF Team.
     
  • Riders and Crew not associated with teams - we encourage you to enter the Cook-Off by forming your own Chili Team with other participants or friends!

    Need help connecting to other participants? Contact Amanda Fisher at
    afisher@mfeast.org or 410.327.3420 x11.

How Should We Prepare for the Cook-Off?   

 

Make some chili! (enough for 100-150 guests to sample)  

 

Provide extra snacks and beverages to share. Moveable Feast will provide ice, napkins, plates, utensils, and cups.  

 

Each Chili Team is responsible for providing 3 volunteers to help on the day of the event with hosting and clean-up. The Chili Team may volunteer themselves, or may bring others as volunteers.  

 

Actively promote the Cook-Off to your friends, family, and colleagues!  

How Much Are Tickets?    


All entry tickets will be sold at the door for $15. (Kids 12 and under are free, cash or check only.)

The event will also include a raffle. Raffle tickets will also be sold during the event for $7 apiece or two for $10.

SPECIAL DISCOUNT: Purchase a raffle/entry package at the door for just $20, saving you $2 off the raffle ticket price.

Note: Each Chili Team will receive 5 free entry tickets, to be used for Chili Team members, volunteers, or guests.

How Will I Benefit?     


JUDGES CHOICE AWARD: A panel of impartial judges will choose an overall winner based on three categories - Taste, Presentation, and Creativity. The winner of the Judges Choice will receive all the ticket and raffle money raised. Note, no judge bribes allowed this year!

TASTERS CHOICE AWARD: Guests can vote on their favorite chili by donating cash to the team. Each team will keep their individual donations, but a special award will go to the team who received the most in donations that day. Chili Teams, use all your powers of persuasion to encourage guests to donate...without food or beverage bribes.
