The format for this year’s ride and pot luck lunch will be the same as last year with a Chili Cook-Off.

Six judges will be selected randomly the morning of the Polar Bear Ride. There isn’t a kitchen available in the room we’ve rented, so you’ll need to prepare your chili in advance and bring a crock-pot or slow cooker to keep it warm. If you choose to enter your chili for judging and the chance at the $100 gift certificates please contact Bobbie Leslie by Dec. 23. RC: Party Planning Committee Chair Bobbie Leslie at 548.4167.
