Chili Cook Off This Saturday!

Willie relaying our thanks to the community before the raffle began.

We had the drawing for the raffle prizes on Monday night at the local gym.  There was a good turn out of about 60 people.  It was hotter than HOT as it was close to 100 degrees outside and there is no air conditioning in the gym.  It felt like we were all getting a good work out just by standing still and sweating!
We ended up with close to 50 raffle prizes and a lot of the people who won were present which made it extra fun.  We are so grateful for our amazing friends who put the raffle together and hosted a fun night for all of us.
This is just a quick post tonight as it is late and we are getting ready to  head to the coast in the morning for a wedding.  We are so happy that Willie is feeling good enough to go to the wedding and we are looking forward to a break where we can both relax. Will has lost almost all of his hair now so he went shopping today to purchase a wedding appropriate hat (since all he owns are SF Giants baseball hats!).  He came home with a fancy brown fedora hat with a bird feather tucked in the side. It is a beauty to behold and I can't wait to see the hat in action at the wedding.
We a bummed that we will be missing the chili cook off this weekend.  This is a community event that happens annually to showcase those with the best chili making skills.  This year they have decided to donate the proceeds from the event to Willie.  We are so grateful and honored that they are doing this for us and encourage everyone to attend and have a good time on our behalf. 

Here are the details of the event:
