Just one more week until the Oktoberfest 2011 Car Show and Street Fair. Merchandise and information booth space is still available. Start saving money for food, jewelry, floral arrangements, handmade quilts and accessories in Vendor Square and Bingo on Friday at the ARC sponsored by the Senior Citizens.

Children’s activities will include a giant slide possibly with a water feature, jumping castle, and Sumo wrestling mat. Bracelets are $5 per day for unlimited jumping and sliding. The Sumo wrestlers will be a timed event or three falls whichever comes first for $2 a round. There will be a sponge throw and water balloons for a small fee. Event Wizard will return with their popular games. Dance party has been an Oktoberfest favorite and will be held Saturday afternoon. Nancy Hinojos and the Junior Chamber members will be in charge of these activities.

The movies mentioned last week have not been released for public use so Transformers and Twilight-New Moon sequel will be shown Friday and Saturday night. One person at the movie will be the lucky winner of a DVD of the movie being shown. Details will be announced later.

Have you been told that your salsa is the best in town? Now is the time to show your skills. The Salsa Challenge will be held on Saturday, Oct 1, with four categories to be judged which include Sweet Salsa, Pico De Gallo (chunky), Regular Salsa (liquid) and Salsa Verde (Green Chili). There must be at least three entries per category for that category to be judged.

• All salsa will be prepared at home and dropped off on the day of the Challenge.

• Contestant will be responsible for all utensils and ingredients needed to prepare their Salsa.

• Ingredients may be fresh or canned (i.e. tomatoes, chili etc.)

• Ready made prepackaged salsa cannot be used.

• Contestants must have enough ingredients to make at least 1 quart of salsa per category entered for judging.

• Contestants must be registered by the cut off date of Sept. 29 in order to compete.

• Each contestant will be assigned a number that will be placed on their salsa container which will be turned over to the judges. No names will be placed on containers. Containers will have type of Salsa labeled on them.

All judges will remain anonymous and will judge each category on taste, aroma, consistency, color and aftertaste. Pick up rules and registration forms at the Chamber office. The awards of first place for each category will be Saturday at 1 p.m. at the main stage. Turn in your Salsa to Connie Hillian, Shelly Hillian-Huerta and Hope Chiquete Kame at the Chamber booth next to the ARC.

The hot dog eating contest is open to male and female contestants age seven to adults who will be judged on how fast they can eat an undetermined amount of hotdogs. This contest is sponsored by Rags Car Wash and La Cantina with Daniel Hinojos, Annie Hinojos and the Blazers conducting the contest. Adults are encouraged to enter and try to beat out last year’s winner. This contest will take place on the Apache Gold Casino Resort stage.

It takes money and donations to put on an event such as this one. Thank those who sponsored an event, placed an ad on the t-shirts, KRDE 94.1 ads, Copper Basin News ads or gave donations for the Car Show drawing which will take place every 15 minutes. Without their unending support we could not put on an event of this magnitude.

Shop at home and thank your Home Town Merchant.
