My brother in law and I will be doing the CASI Alabama Open chili cookoff again this year. Wanted to throw out an invite to the DLC crowd and see if anyone wants to come cook, or just hang out and drink beer and eat chili. This is a lot, LOT more laid back than the exceptional foundation's chili cookoff, it's also a lot smaller. I've done it for the past couple of years, and it's always a fun day spent outdoors. Worth noting, this is a Texas Style chili cookoff, which means the only things in the chili are meat and gravy, no beans, rice, noodles, or anything else aside from meat and gravy. Any red meat is acceptable.
Details:

Oak Mountain State Park Lakeside Pavilion - From park entrance:
