Chili Cookoff

I'm usually not a fan of country music, with the exception of Kenny Chesney, but I am regretting not getting tickets to this year's biggest country show. The most famous stars of the radio station 99.9 Kiss Country come together and play a huge concert for one day. The 24th annual Chili Cookoff at CB Smith Park in Pembroke Pines is tomorrow, January 25 at 10:00 in the morning. Cars line up and park on the side of the road hours before the on-site gates open at 6:45 am. The park is usually packed with barely any room to move. Blankets are spread out and chairs are unfolded to lay back for some of the day, because there are no seats out on the field. This year's lineup, in order, is Justin Moore, Little Big Town, Jason Aldean, Jessica Simpson (since when is she considered country?), and Alan Jackson. This all day concert will keep going no matter rain or shine. 2009's Chili Cookoff is sold out, but as most kids say, "Ew, who likes country???"
