Video: Chilly Chili Challenge and Lake Ontario Winter Celebration

by SpillingBuckets | 2/25/2010 in |

As the "Snow Hurricane" bears down on Rochester (actually its not that bad yet) we thought we would post a video of a few winter related events.  Leslie and I attended the Rochester New York Chilly Chili festival (which is part of the 2010 Lakeside Winter Celebration) and although we missed many of the outdoor events, we sure did have our fill of local chili.

Events included:

  • Outdoor Children's Festival 
  • Chilly Chili Challenge 
  • Snow Sculpture Contest 
  • Dog Sled Demonstrations 
  • Annual Polar Plunge fundraiser for the Special Olympics 
  • Frostbiter's Sailboat Racing 
  • Winter Golf 
  • Horse-drawn Sleigh Rides
We also took some video of a beautiful sunny February Sunday.

Here are some fun, but shaky, clips put to a good tune. Enjoy!

Our current list of goals as we discover what it means to be wealthy, abandon the deferred life plan, and work to design a fulfilling and sustainable life.

  • Emergency fund of 6-9 months living expenses. Accomplished: June '08

  • Save for a down payment on a house. Accomplished! May '09 Holy moley, we bought a house!

  • When we started this blog we set a goal to have a party on the date we crossed over to zero net worth. We made it! January 6th, 2010!

  • 100% debt free.
    We know the normal thinking about low interest student loan and mortgage debt, but just think how weird would it be to be debt free. How many unique things could we do with little or no major financial obligations and no payments. Gets the mind working, huh?
    • PhotobucketThanks to your support we have been able to provide over $553 in microloans and charitable donations helping to share some of the many opportunities we have with others who may just need a little boost.

    Help spread opportunity today: We suggest visiting Kiva.org, Serve.gov or Points of Light to find a local volunteer organization.
