Pine Events October 27, 2009
Happening on the same day and in close proximity the Pine Tie-Dye and the Chili Cook-off Challenge hosted by Senior Citizens Affairs Foundation (SCAF) were two well attended happenings in Pine, Saturday, Oct. 24. The opportunity to taste all the delicious homemade chili was only $3 per person. One would have been hard pressed to find a better deal than that in all of Rim Country. Tasting began at 11 a.m., and most of the contestants ran out of chili by 12:30 p.m. The folks at Pine By Design also offered a pumpkin patch. If you’ve never had the opportunity to roam through a field and pick out the perfect “family pumpkin,” it’s really a lot of fun and each one costs only $5.
