chili party & horse race

The invite. Letter pressed and all!

7th Annual
Chili Party & Horse Race
Ben & Briar really know how to throw a party. We've been attending this since it's conception 7 years ago, and like a small child it has grown tremendously. It was when I saw the megaphone I definitely knew this annual "get together" was on another level.

Pictured here the hosts & the megaphone.

Winner, Winner, Winner

Frequently asked ?'s
Q-What is a chili party & horse race?
A-A party where the attendees eat chili and have a horse race.
Q-Again, what is a horse race?
A-Each person is a horse. You must give yourself a horse name. Two horses sit in front of the other attendees and rip newspaper. The attendees place bets on which horse will rip the fastest (to the end of the newspaper strip) without ripping off to the side. Process of elimination, and in the end there is a winner.
Q-What was your horse name?
A-Me: Kamikaze, Mitch: Ned Pepper
Q-Who are Ben & Briar?
A-A moment of silence please...the greatest party-throwers ever.

Amy-This craziness was not in Heber, it was in Sandy. I absolutely agree with the fact that you guys do need to get up here. We would love to hang out. If you turn me down again, I will take it personal.
