South Padre Island Chili Expo (SPICE)

What a great weekend for the return of SPICE!!! The weather was fine, we had lots of attendees and we raised almost $20,000 to benefit women in the Valley fighting breast cancer. This was one of our biggest events yet in terms of teams and chilis - 16 teams and 30 chilis! Thanks to all of our chefs and cooking teams, the attendees and our sponsors.
