Upcoming Events for FMA

Updated March 18, 2025

March 22 (Saturday) Chili Cook-off "Fun Night" at Villa Chanticleer Annex, 5pm - 8pm

You're invited to join this Saturday evening as we get together with neighbors to play Fitch Mountain BINGO (it's fun, I promise!) and bring out our best chili-making skills for a friendly competition. But everyone knows that Marty Silge always won. Always. This year Marty will be watching from above while his wife Ellen carries on this tradition by gathering neighbors and friends to visit and play BINGO over a chili potluck dinner.

So far, about 20 Mountaineers have RSVP'd. We've got:

  • 1 "Marty style" chili (meat + bean)
  • 2 Vegetarian chilis
  • 1 "Home made" chili
  • 2 "I won't know what I'm doing until I do it" chili's
  • Ann's home-made ice cream
If you're free Saturday, and feeling fun and foodie - let us know what your plans are. Bring a friend or new neighbor. All attendees are welcome to bring something else to share (salad, side, bread, or dessert). FMA will provide drinks and cutlery. Feel free to bring your own reusable mug if you like.

Prizes could get interesting in their own right because we "crowdsource" these too. Anyone who wants to may bring an item for the “Quick Pick” table of prizes, which they can take back home if no one picks it. A few years back, I won a mint condition edition of Gray's Anatomy (the book, not the show).
