Tucson Salsa Challenge
November 5, 2007 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under Tucson Events
Finally, a contest I can get behind, and all for a good cause.
I do love spicy food. There’s almost nothing that doesn’t taste better if made spicy, IMHO.
Enter the Tucson Salsa Challenge!
Held in Reid Park at the DeMeester Performance Center on Saturday November 10th from 11am to 6pm, the Salsa Challenge is a festival featuring over 70 professional and amateur chefs, preparing fresh salsa on site. There’s also Margarita Mix-off from 12:30 to 3:30, and each margarita in the contest will be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Besides all of that, there will be live music, cold beer, Mexican food from Macayo’s, and something called a “Fun Zone” which offers “interactive family fun.”
Tickets go for $8 a pop for adults in advance (buy tickets online), kids under 12 are free. If you wait to buy a ticket at the gate, you’ll pay $10 per adult.
All proceeds go to the Arizona Hemophilia Association, who will use the money raised to continue their educational and emotional support programs for the hemophilia community at large.

I can’t believe it’s October already, although the Tucson weather forecast tells me we’re headed into some beautiful cooler fall weather.
But what’s the start of October without Tucson Oktoberfest?
It started last night, but you can still go tonight through Sunday, over to Hi Corbett Field at Reid Park, just south of El Con Mall [...]

This sounds like fun, I love hot stuff as well. I like to make salsa that hurts, but it’s worth it!
