Dr. Marmalaid of Marmalade Productions, and all of the kids who came to the good doctors puppet show, were able to help all of the animals with their ailments and misunderstandings and at the end of the day, all went home in a much better state than when they came. Thank you Dr. M

The 2009 Chili Cook-off

was a total success.

And it was fun.

Thank you for coming.

Just a word about our contest.

Talking with the Culinary experts after they tasted and judged the Cook-Off, and after tasting the chili's myself, the discussion was about the talent that enters at our event.

Every entry was absolutely delicious.

The judges told me they had to define the proper categories of chili in order to come to their decisions. If judged on flavor alone, they would have been at an impasse.

There has to be a winner but I could not pick one. I had a great time tasting and had much to say about each entrant.

I was leaning towards the bourbon flavored but that was not fair to the others.

To both entrants and tasters alike, thank you and take a bow.

The Hinsdale Bicentennial Committee is now the 

'Hinsdale  Dayz Committee' 

As the Hinsdale Dayz Committee, we intend to continue organizing and collaborating with other groups offering community oriented functions for families and friends of Hinsdale.

We are all volunteers and we are always looking for volunteers to help us achieve our goals.

We would love to have you join our great group for community oriented events that will include Chili Contests, Outdoor movies, Car Washes, Bake Sales, a collaboration with the Fire Department for their Block dances and Musters, the Holiday Christmas Caroling and more.

Join us for one event or all events or something in between.

We have formed a great group of folks wanting to keep Hinsdale the great place that it has always been with an emphasis on fun.

If you would like to join us, email

Carole Forward

or

Pete White

Thanks for the support you have all already given.

Stay tuned for more information.

All of us that were on the Hinsdale Bicentennial Committee, now the Hinsdale Dayz Committee, would like to thank all of you who made our Bicentennial year a great success. This success has inspired us to continue to bring the town of Hinsdale through this new millennium with the creation of events having a family and community flavor, and to work with those who have already established events that we hope will keep this great town of Hinsdale together as the family that it has always been.

THANK YOU!

Great Week!!!

Great Town!!!
