MET Snow Patrol #1 CHILI COOK-OFF (with or without Beans?)

Sat. Feb 21, 2026   8:30 am – 4:00 pm

This patrol will also be a CHILI COOK-OFF.  If you can make a mean chili, we want to try it.  If you can’t we want you to bring a side to go with it.  If you don’t like Chili, it’s probably because you aren’t trying it with BEANs.  Either way, this is a great opportunity to enjoy some warm food with good friends in cold weather.

Meeting at the Subway/Shell station in Pollock Pines off of Hwy 50 and Sly Park exit.

Other notes:

We will use the club’s HAM PosseV2 frequency for communications, so bring your HAM radios.  If you do not have a HAM, please let us know.  I carry spares as well as a few others in the club if you need one for the day.
