Mark, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the Chili Cook Off idea.

Now with your new job, it may be easier to incorporate it into your yearly agenda.

There is nothing wrong with coming up with new ways to promote the game of pool.

You have a pocketful of ideas, try one and if it doesn't fly, you reach in and grab another idea.

Just because one idea doesn't work doesn't mean it was a bad idea. Maybe just bad timing etc.

Maybe you can have a Chili Cook Off along side a pool tournament where some or all of the proceeds go to a worth while charity in the area.

This way, the players are competing at the table and in the kitchen. Spectators buy the chili and the proceeds help someone. It is also another way to get a designated
charity involved with coming out to a pool hall.

It gets a bit more exposure and hopefully everyone wins a little.

There is always more than one way to skin a cat. Now that you are in the position that you are in, you have the ability to make things fly a little easier.
Just reach in the old bag of tricks and pull something out.
