This is a significant increase from last year's event and could not have been possible without the generous support of all the participating restaurants, chili cookers, bakers, and all of the volunteers who donated of their time and talent.

Thanks are also in order to the folks at Marina Nuevo Vallarta who donated tables and chairs for the event and to the Nayarit Visitors Bureau who provided signs and music.
