Big Chili Cook-Off 2011
Welcome Chili Fans!
Parking is very important to the continued
growth and success of the Big Chili Cook-Off Music and Arts Festival.
No parking at:
Evergreen Lake House
Lake Point Center(businesses are open)
Please note that access to Upper Creek Road will be restricted. We
encourage you to use the designated spaces at Evergreen High School,
the Elks Lodge or the old Albertsons. There will be signs directing you to the lots. The shuttle will
pick you up at any of these lots which are located every direction from the
Lake House.
Drop off policy: For those who want to drop someone off and then park at the shuttle
lots, we ask that this practice be limited to parties that include people
with special needs or disabilities. Due to traffic concerns on Upper Bear
Creek Road, we ask that able-bodied groups proceed directly to the shuttle
lots. THERE IS NO EVENT PARKING AT THE LAKEPOINT CENTER, NOR AT THE
LAKEHOUSE ITSELF. In addition, there will be a bus with a wheelchair lift that picks up at
the Evergreen High School shuttle lot.
Big Chili Cook-Off parking is available at Evergreen High School, Evergreen Elks Lodge and
the old Albertsons. Shuttle service will be provided every 15 minutes from
7:00am until 6:30pm, and signs will be posted for those preferring to walk.
There will be no parking at the Evergreen Lake House. No traffic will be
allowed into the park during this event.
