Title/Name/Summary
Three - I Regional Chili Cook-Off - Approve
History
The CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International) has asked Orland Park to be one of the nine Regional Chili Cook-Offs in 2008. Orland Park hosted the Three - I in 2005. The event would take place on Saturday and Sunday, May 17 & 18, 2008 at the ice rink and warming house at Centennial Park.
Contestants pay a $25 CASI fee on Saturday and an $18 Morning After fee for Sunday. The public is invited to taste for a $5.00 fee. Saturday would benefit Special Recreation and Sunday would benefit the American Cancer Society.
The village provides the winners’ trophies, judges t-shirts, cooks shirts or pullovers, supplies, palette cleanser, drinks, volunteer judges and staff as we do for the Chili Willie Challenge in January.
On March 10, 2008 this item was reviewed and approved by the Community Events & Outreach Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
This event was not included in the 2008 budget and would require funding approval and a budget adjustment in the amount of $3,000.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve funding for the Village of Orland Park to host the CASI Three - I Open Regional Cook-Off in an amount not to exceed $3,000;
And
I move to approve a budget adjustment in the amount of $3,000.
