Springs Celebration and O'Leno Ole Chili Cook Off

Please join the Santa Fe River Springs Working Group as an exhibitor at this fun event at beautiful O'Leno State Park on March 26, 2011 from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm. This was a great event last year because a lot of folks came out to eat delicious chili and wandered over to the environmental exhibits to learn about topics and issues that were brand new to them.

It is free to exhibit at this growing event, and it is simple to set up and break down. There will be music, children's activities, guided tours, and the chili contest and tastings. Please reserve your spot by clicking on this link and filling out this short form. For information contact Stacie at 352-264-6829.

If you are interested in entering your chili into the contest please email Friendsofoleno@windstream.net.
