What are you most looking forward to?
Right now, it is the Sertoma Chili Cook-off, a fund-raising event for children's charities here in town. I always describe it as New Year's Eve, Mardi Gras, and St. Patrick's Day rolled up into one huge party. I usually work in the concessions stand, selling non chili food items, and non-alcoholic beverages. There is live music, the businesses that rent booths are over the top and hilarious. The people who attend are laughing and happy – in the 15 years I've been volunteering, I've only seen one altercation that had to be contained, and the participants expelled.
