Chili Challenge Success!
| The weather did not daunt the crowd or the 20+ cooks who competed in the 21st annual Windsor Chamber of Commerce Chili Challenge on Saturday. A little rain was not enough to keep food-loving people from sampling delicious chilis which ranged from meaty and mild to spicy and woo-doggie hot! Chili sample tickets were an affordable $1.00 each, just right for sampling a whole lot of different recipes and local band, Fence Incident, played some great tunes to keep the people dancing. After rigorous judging by a panel of experienced chili tasters, this year's trophies went to the following creative cooks and booth designers! Special recognition goes to Konica Minolta for placing in all three prize categories - a Windsor Chili Challenge first! More photos of the cooks, booths, and crowd can be found at www.windsorcc.org. People's Choice award: 1) Union Street Tavern 2) Konica Minolta 3) VFW Best Booth award: 1) FTDT Hoe Down 2) Sweet Harmony Cafe & Bakery 3) Konica Minolta Best Chili award: 1) Windsor Ambulance 2) Windsor Republicans 3) Konica Minolta "This is always a fun event, where thousands of people come out to sample chili and get to familiarize themselves with our local businesses and non-profit organizations," says Executive Director, Jane Garibay. "It's also our second-biggest fundraiser to support local businesses and our economy." Mark your calendar - sign up starts on July 1st.
