Gainesville Cycling Club's  famous Chilly Chili Cookoff will be Saturday, Jan. 21 at Oleno State Park.  Food will be served starting at noon.  Oleno has bicycle adventures for the whole family, including a paved bicycle trail,  gentle woods trails and beautiful country roads nearby.  The park also has a playground for kids and a museum that records the construction of the park by the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) during the 1930's.

 

This picnic features GCC's best chili's, and club members are invited to bring their favorite chili.   GCC will provide a big kettle of mild, inoffensive chili and this year will attempt a vegetarian chili.   Club members are asked to bring either chili or salads, cornbread or deserts to round out the feast. 

 

Oleno State Park is on US 441 eight miles north of High Springs.  There is an entry fee to the Park, $6 per car with up to eight people, $4 for single occupant car, $2 for bike or pedestrian.
