THIS WEEKEND
Downtown Chili Cookoff

While I typically keep a low profile, I was invited to be The Potentate at this year’s Wagonmasters Downtown Chili Cookoff. I couldn’t say no.

The Chili Potentate is the Ambassador of Good Times, and shall shepard said Good Times to the visitors attending the event of the Wagonmaster's Downtown Chili Cookoff.

So I hope you’ll join me in downtown Wichita this Saturday at high noon!

It’s free to enter but for only $5, you get a tasting kit to enjoy all the chili you want!
