How good is your salsa? 

 

New this year is our first-ever Salsa Challenge, an event open to all homemade salsa creators. The categories are:

-Best overall salsa
-Best red salsa
-Best green salsa
-Best anything goes

The best overall salsa wins a cool $100 with the winners of the other three categories raking in fifty bucks each.  It is also possible one winner could take home all the cash if his or her salsas really rock the judges!

Click here for the contest details and entry requirements.  Please read this before you enter.

Entries will be judged by four village trustees and I'm one of them.  Winners also receive blue ribbons and appropriate recognition in the next newsletter. So, come on down and dazzle us with your culinary skills!
Bonfire-
If you've seen our bonfires in past years, you know they are really big ones.  This year promises to be the biggest and best ever.  If it's a chilly September evening, it will be fun to warm up near this giant hot blaze and watch the flames shoot skyward toward the heavens. 

The eyes of little kids open really wide as they behold a wondrous  event like this and you won't want to miss it.  Bring your camera... it makes a fun social media post, too.
