Rules, Regulations, and Miscellaneous info:
1) The Sled: due to hill regulations, your sled must have an
inter tube or plastic bottom base in order to participate in the race. There
have been a few questions about using a mattress as the base but unfortunately
unless the bed meets the above criteria, you can only participate in the
creative category and not the race portion. Your team is included in the
creative portion of your sled so costumes are encouraged. If you would like to enter a sled team (up to 4 per sled) contact Michelle: engbergm@gmail.com
2) The Chili: there will be outlets/power strips to keep
chili warm if you transport them in a crockpot. Please include a list of key
ingredients/common allergens that can be displayed. If you are comfortable
providing a recipe (sans the family secret) feel free. Please bring a serving
utensil to dispense the chili, cups and spoons will be provided. If you would like to enter a chili, contact Michelle: engbergm@gmail.com
3) The Prizes: prizes will be awarded to most creative sled,
fastest sled, and favorite chili. Most creative sled and favorite chili will be
determined by the amount of money, in dollars, placed in the box corresponding
to each contestant. The fastest sled will be determined by our line judge at
the bottom of the hill.
4) Donations: If you are unable to attend the event, but

5) Other attractions: there are opportunities to go sliding
or skating while voting is taking place. You will have to bring your own sled
and skates. There is a cozy place to warm up and enjoy chili and/or cocoa while
looking through pictures of kids and families we’ve worked with in Guatemala.
