When the Ruidoso Optimist Club started looking for a fundraiser, former Club President Tom McElligott had a truly unique and spicy idea. "Since we have two motorcycle rallys each year, I think we should do something that ties in with that," McElligott told the club. "I can get us our own salsa made and we can sell it." McElligott has been in the chili business for many years and guided the project from inception to reality. Thus H.O.G. Salsa was born. The H.O.G. name has obvious motorcycle connotations but actually stands for "Help
Optimist Grow."
