“We need 50 - 3 quart pots donated for the Bagdad Chili Cookoff on April 4th - new or used (if if does not have a lid they can use foil). The price of the pot is not important - Dollar General, Big Lots etc often have some at low prices.I would like to have each doner put their chilie receipe inside of it with their name and address so the person cooking with it knows who sent it.If you can assist with a pot dontion, I will send you the official address to send it to. It has to be mailed out no later than March 10th to arrive on time.Thanks for your consideration” Ken Rodd
