2008 Fall Chili Party
by Bill Cook

On Saturday, October 11, SAAC-MCR members descended (ascended - as most were from metro Detroit) upon the John Guyer and Trish Judson's Big Norway Lake Autodrome for our 2008 Fall Chili party.

The annual tradition of sampling and voting for our favorite chili recipes, making up stories about cars and eating more chili was proudly continued.

The weather was beyond perfect and so were our hosts. The Fall cool air was quickly dismissed by the rapid chili consumption. After 5 hours of eating, everybody headed over to Big Norway Lake for a relaxing afternoon of cruising (in boats, of course). As darkness arrived, everybody gathered around a huge, roaring campfire to share more stories before calling it a day.

In a true tribute to the nearly 20 different chili recipes consumed (and those that consumed them), a prominently displayed large container of Tums remained essentially untouched throughout day.

PS - In case you are wondering where Big Norway Lake is...it's not far from Little Dollar Lake, Doc & Tom Lake and Shingle Lake.

Ah, good times...good times.
