As you can see in this photo above, we had a good showing of chapter members for the Chapter’s 6th Annual Chapter Chili Cookoff at the February chapter member’s dinner meeting.
Thirteen (13) members brought pots of chili to enter in the competition, and other members brought cornbread and desserts.
After the meal, Claudia Powell, Chapter Food/Facilities Chair, announced that there was a tie for the first place Golden Spoon award between Greg Syvertson’s beef chili and Virginia Wahab’s pork loin chili.
While she presented them both with the traditional Golden Spoon ladles, Chapter President Chris Ferguson handed out their award certificates.
