Woodland Chili Throwdown & Brew-off in Yolo County, California

Friendly competition is on the menu September 18th at the Woodland Chili Throwdown & Brew-off at the Yolo County Fairgrounds in Woodland. Businesses and civic organizations sponsor teams for the chili, salsa and beer competitions. Our team - Coldwell Banker Doug Arnold Real Estate Woodland office - is entering for the first time in the chili and salsa contests.

I volunteered for the grunt labor subteam - since I'm 8 inches taller and 100 pounds heavier than most of our office that seemed appropriate.

The event starts at 11 am, with winners announced at 3:15 pm. Should be fun!
