In early November in Lakeland, a bunch of Bikers get together, cook and share (while supplies last!) a whole mess of chili, and party all weekend like it's going out of style. Like all the best Biker parties, it involves turning off the paved road and pitching up a tent. Of course, live bands and beer are mandatory. And if you're not too fucked up to handle a camera, you might get some nice shots of the beauty contest on Saturday night! :-)
