Default Chilly Chili Run

Hi Folks. The polar vortex is upon us. Mid November feels like mid January! But, no matter what the weather, we will be having the annual Chilly Chili Run on December 7th at Canoe City Park in Leavittsburg. We'll start about 11 and try to get the food set up and then go for a paddle about noon. If the weather is good, I'll go up to Swift Park and paddle down to Canoe City. If it's bad, we'll do an up and back to Eagle Creek.
Now I love the Chilly Run for a couple reasons. One is the nut factor part. People out paddling in the cold weather. The other is the FOOD! Who doesn't like a bowl of hot chili on a cold day? I do! And cornbread and cookies and all the other goods too. I'll be making a pot of chili to bring to the run. Mine will be mild in spiciness. We could use a couple more pots of chili and some of the other stuff for the winter picnic. Some firewood too. I think we will be able to use the building again this year so we will have electric and be able to keep the food out of the weather. I'll double check with Zac to make sure.
Remember, this is a cold water paddle so dress accordingly. This section of the Mahoning is flatwater with a few downed trees to maneuver around. We will also have a short meeting following the run.
Come to paddle or just come to hang out with the group and eat. I hope to see a lot of faces there.
Ed

Looks like Sunday will be nice. Calling for temps in mid 40's with partly sunny skies.

Looking forward to the paddle

Mike

Default lookin' good

Looks good for Sunday. A bit cold, but sunny. I can dress for that. Mike was able to get use of the building so we have that and some electricity to power the crock pots of chili. I'll bring a power strip and an extension cord too. You can bring the Coleman stove for a backup or to keep it old school!
The paddle will be from Swift down to Canoe City park. Want to check out the new launch at Swift and see if we can get in without getting muddy!
See ya Sunday,
Ed

Default Can't Make It To Chilly Chili Paddle

Very sorry that I won't be able to make the Chilly Chili Paddle tomorrow and the discussion of boat counting by-laws So unless someone else is planning to bring some, there will not be any hot mulled cider. Have a great time everyone.

So how was the Chili Run? Was so disappointed we had to miss it but I came down with the flu that weekend. Typhoid Mary.
Wanted to say thanks to everyone for excepting us "Rookies" this year and let you know what a great time we had. Learned a lot and can't believe how much I like doing this and being part of your club. Tons of firsts and good memories already. Merry Christmas to all and see ya in the spring.
