Our friends who hosted the chili cook-off live about a 45 minute drive from us.
( My sis and brother-in-law went with us. Here we are-Joy and me- ready to leave from my house.)Our friends have 20 acres and have the perfect set up for these kind of gatherings. They have built a sort of hunting cabin type place where they have these parties and gatherings.

The little house is an all in one space but is equipped with all the necessities...(stoves, fridge, water... a front and back porch) and well set up for these chili cook-offs! There's lots of open space for kids to run around and have fun and lots of tables and chairs for us older folks to use.
The patio area next to the cabin is pretty neat...all the stones home made, apparently, and with quotes that were written in while the concrete was wet! I took pictures of many of those. It's interesting to walk around and read them.
Here are a few I saw:
(this one I will dedicate to some of our current politicians )
They also have a small stage near the cabin for entertainment purposes and for awarding the winning trophies for the chili contest!
:( Nope! My chili didn't win - AGAIN!!
Oh! One more thing!
Here's the Out House!
:) -A fun day for us all.

Now that's what I call a fun day! Some people have just the perfect place to host events like that, don't they!! I'm still giggling at some of writing on the stones, what a brilliant idea. I agree with you about the one dedicated to politicians. hehe What a shame your chili didn't win but keep trying, maybe next year it will:-) xox
ReplyDeletePea,
ReplyDeleteYes, they really do have a good place out out there for big parties like that...I like those stepping stones a lot too...I would like to do something like that here...(but probably never will!)
LOL- I don't expect my chili to win...( :) but I like it best anyway!!)
