Fall Chili Cookoff

[Bill Cleveland]

Tonight's the night! Several of our "chefs" will square off to see who takes home the coveted award (see pic). I wonder if there's any significance to the Tums Corporation having a manufacturing facility in St Louis. Hm.m.m.m.m. . .
I also understand our NTBA President, Bruce DeAngelis will be joining us for the evening. Welcome, Bruce!

Unfortunately Bruce had to change his plans but we have stocked up on Tums, Pepto-Bismol, toilet paper, disinfectant wipes. Looking forward to a fun evening with the STL chapter as we put the final touches on our upcoming event in May!

We hope to see you folks here in our neck of the woods in May!!!!
