And the winner is . . .

And I got to be one of the Judges - me and two firemen. Thanks Les and Kevin! I had to - I mean, I got to taste all 19 entries. Don't get me wrong, I like chili. I really do. But right now it's late and I ate way too many beans and spices. But we had a blast! And the turn out was great. We even had visitors! I'd like to thank Susan Johnson and Kathy Beam who put this little shin dig together on behalf of our L-T.E.A.M. (Women's Ministry). They did a great job. And honestly, what made it great for me is that I really didn't have anything to do with it. It was all taken care of by other people. And the prizes were really cool too - hand painted aprons and a silver engraved spoon that will be passed on like the Winston Cup or the Lombardi trophy to the annual winner. And I don't know if you noticed (I did), but the top 3 winners were all men! Way to go guys! Can you hear the masculine grunting noises - oh wait, that's my stomach. It's late and I better go. Congratulations Josh!
