Lake cleanup & chili cook-off this Saturday

PCM is hosting a lake cleanup and chili cook-off this Saturday, October 3.

If you'd like to participate in the cleanup, please pick up trash bags starting at 8 a.m. at the dock. We'll be collecting trash at the dock and at the launch ramp throughout the day. Even if you don't have a boat, or if you don't plan to take your boat, there are still plenty of places to go by car or on foot - i.e. the Bluffs, Hollingsworth Cove or even Pontiac Cove!

Afterward, there will be a chili cook-off at the Pontiac park pavilion - looks like the weather should be agreeable! If you want to participate in the cook-off, please let me know by Friday, so I will know how many tables and cords we will need. Please bring your chili in a crock pot along with a serving utensil to the pavilion by 4:30 for set-up. (If you have an extension cord, please bring it as well.) We'll start serving chili at 5:00. Everyone is invited to come eat all the chili you can handle for $5. Half the proceeds will go to the 2010 Pontiac Fireworks. The other half will go to the first, second and third place winners. In addition to the top three, we'll also recognize the *most original recipe* and the *hottest* chili. PCM will provide toppings for the chili and beverages. If chili isn't your specialty (or, even if it is!), you're welcome to bring desserts, too.

Come out and enjoy this gorgeous fall weather! See you at the park!

Cheers!

Oh Baby!

Check this out! Andy and Alison Miller, of Fayetteville, Ark., were featured on the Today Show this morning. Alison gave birth to the couple's second child, Molly, on 09/09/09. Their first child, daughter Campbell, was born 08/08/08. Pretty wild coincidence! (Alison is the daughter of Larry and Brenda Kankey, of the Good Karma houseboat docked at PCM.)
