Roscoe’s Chili Challenge #29 by ValGal and Miserable George

It’s no big secret about some logistical changes that had to be made at the big Chili Challenge this year. Camping areas were changed, entrances and exits were switched, the event was cut by one day…! As word got out BEFORE the event, I believe it scared a few people away! Well,

I’m here to tell you all, the Chili Challenge was a huge success,

despite a few minor changes. Additional  camping ground was purchased, which was more than enough to accommodate everyone, and despite shortening the party by one day…you STILL got your money’s  worth.

My friend, Jay Mollica rode out with me…I of course, took my truck…thanks to Jay for the company. Jay, by the way, is a PRIMO sax player, as I’m sure most of you know!!

We were invited out on Thursday, a day before opening…got a good camp site, met a lot of new people, shot almost 1000 photos, squeezed a few chicks, ate good at Heavenly Hotdogs…(Thanks John & Andrea!!), and generally had a blast.

Weather was good till Saturday evening, when the cold front moved in, and we got spritzed a bit!! Good chili, good events, good people, I think the photos can tell the story a lot better than I can.

Our BIG THANKS to Roscoe and his terrific staff for a

job well done…hope to get there again in 2015!!!

Biketoberfest 2015 at Cacklebery Campground by ValGal

Beautiful day to party like a rockstar up at Cacklebery Campground for Biketoberfest … Bikes, babes and beer is just what a biker needs.

Big Daddy Band playing awesome tunes all day Saturday with a wet tshirt contest and lots of other things to do between sets.

I love the atmosphere at this event… No Yuppies here! There was one particular vendor with lots of swap meet fare for us old school peeps… bike week here will be bigger than ever so make sure you put this on your bike week calendar for 2016!

Harley Rendezvous 2016

We arrived at Indian Lookout about 3 PM on Wed. ( Bikes only allowed in day) , set up camp in the Staff Area, got my Staff credentials taken care of, and decided to take a tour of the camp grounds. Lot’s of Harley’s and people everywhere , set up and waiting for their fellow campers to come in Thursday. Looking at different sites, it is simply amazing how much stuff a determined Harley rider can manage to load on their bikes !!!

Thursday morning we awoke to the holding pen PACKED full, and Staff getting everyone in as fast as possible. By nightfall the grounds were really filling up, and there was still a steady stream of people coming in,which lasted into Friday, As always, Friday morning the full blown party started and lasted till late Sat. night !

With around 50 venders in the vendor area , there was a wide choice of things to purchase and eat. I heard a lot of chatter about how great the Blooming Onion stand and the Chicken BBQ stand were. Didn’t get to try either ,because the Staff meals this year were filling and fabulous.
We had a lot of great music, both on the Day and Main Stages.One of the performers you really need to catch on the Day Stage is Ron Jones, he’s been with us for years and get’s better every year.
Because of our hot beautiful days ( I’ll blame it on that lol ) , there was no lack of female flesh being shown, for everyone’s enjoyment !! Thank you ladies and thank you to the men, for the respect that they showed to the ladies !!

Our International Contest was pretty good ( though we could use more contestants next year ), and for a nice reward if you win. This year’s cute young lady walked away with, a LOT of money ( half the 50 -50 sales) , which I believe was around $4,000 this year, Thanks to Lady Amazon for pushing the tickets. And congratulations to the pretty young lady that won !! After the International we had one of the best fireworks displays ever at the “Vous”.
