Huntington Beach Elks Present 8th Annual Classic Car Show and Chili Cook-Off
Huntington Beach, CaliforniaSunday, June 1, 2014
The show cars and the chili cook-off participants started to arrive around 6:30am. At that time the sun was barely up. By 8:00am the Huntington Beach Elks 8th Annual Car Show & Chilli Cook-Off was ready. The Hot Rods were an eclectic group. Rat rods, muscle cars, hot rods, trucks, customs and restored classics were represented. More than 18 chili booths with names like “Buck Eye Chili”, “Bad Boys Chili”, “Sancho Blonco”, and “Smitty’s Chili” were preparing their special brews. The contestants belong to the International Chili Society that establishes the rules for chili cookoffs. A couple of the more interesting rules are “No ingredient may be precooked” and “Cooking period will be minimum 3 hours to a maximum of 4 hours”.
Good food, a nice raffle, entertainment, and awards were all ahead for the participants. All the proceeds go to the HB Elks Christmas basket program, serving the local military and families in need.
Thanks for the Show!!
