There’s a guy in town who throws a big party every year about this time. The main event is a bean hole chili he puts together. Saturday is the prep day. My lovely wife and I gave him a hand getting everything ready. I chopped a lot of onions. Once the fire pit was ready and the cast iron kettle loaded up we lowered the pot into the fire. To move the loaded kettle it takes a very long lever and a lot of chain.
It wasn’t all work and no play. Folks brought a few dishes to share and we hand plenty of time to visit.
Sunday was the big day. I’m guessing there was around forty or so people there. The chili was amazing and there were plenty of side dishes. A few musicians brought instruments and jammed together.
We met some old friends and made new friends. Some folk come from far away for this event. We are lucky to have someone who is willing to host this sort of get together.
I can’t believe how much work he puts into it. Not only that, next weekend he’s making another bean hold chili at a county fair.
We’ve already be invited to next year’s event.
