Our 6th annual Chili Dump was a great success with 16 incredible chili's entered. This year's first place went to Sharon Beaudry (see picture below, boy does she look happy!). Roman Dobratz snagged the second place prize and Trish Toler nailed the third. Pictures and details will be in the next Lake Shastina News.
The committee that puts on the event voted to purchase items for the Community Center with the proceeds so that other groups could enjoy the facility as we did. Among the things considered were cold drink dispensers, coffee maker, chafing dish pans, and tables. Proceeds from this latest event are being tallied and we are collecting prices for various things. More details will follow later.
The cook-off contest went so well this year that the planners are giving serious thought to making our next year's event a full-blown Texas-style chili cook-off, with all the proud cooks lined up and serving their own creations. The audience could sample their way down the line and vote for winners on a secret ballot. Again, more details will follow as they develop.
Finally and certainly not least, we planners would like to thank all those who contributed their time and efforts to make this such a continuing success. And especially you, the public, for coming by and enjoying this annual party with us. We look forward to seeing you again next year!
