Shake this out here..and with your own circles of friends and acquaintences and give me some kind of idea of interest in a City wide event. A Chili Cookoff and shooting for a grande a scale as it might show there is interest.. You know teams..prizes..beauty queen as much or as little as it might show me into trying to constuct and throw together. Prior to going to ask the city fathers about permits and such and possible site of venue I really need to know if there would be any interest in some teams from the expat community. Much more so than i think the locals might..But there is a pretty good annual event in Baguio just with expats. I have friends up there that really enjoy them selves the last few years. So rattle it around.. without players this cant come about. Im actually talking this over with some people in Kabunkalan that believe it would go over well in that area and we have much more people here that *could* be interested.. As big ..or as small as it might possibly be. Like to collect data from say now to July 1..Then if it appears to be a go.at what ever level.. Shoot for Cinqo d Mayo .. or May the 5th of next year? dats been kicking around in my head for a while now..*LOL* Ed O-|
