The Hacienda Hotel and Casino hosted two chili cook-offs during the Thanksgiving weekend, raising more than $1,570 for Emergency Aid of Boulder City.
Bob Dyer won Saturday’s High Desert Chili Cook-Off and received a $1,000 prize. Chuck Harber won the People’s Choice award.
Ken Hook won Sunday’s Boulder City Mojave Desert Chili Cook-Off and took home $1,000. Ray Bogart, who works at the Hacienda, won the People’s Choice award.
A bill was introduced last week by city council that gives those with dogs a second option to let them run free regardless of the time of day.
Saturday night, a large crowd donned their best 1980s attire, which included an abundance of neon-colored clothing as part of the aptly-named Neon Nights. The block party was hosted by Main Street Boulder City and served as a make-up event for their planned New Year’s Eve celebration, which was canceled due to impending weather. Attendees filled the restautants and bars along the steet, while listening to 80s music played by DJ Mike Pacini.
As the old saying goes, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”
