First Place Chili goes to…Oak!

Tom serving his winning chili!

Congrats to Tom, Gary, Hollie and Justin and the rest of the team who contributed to this year’s Chili Cook-Off 1st place win! Tom’s recipe took Judge’s Choice for the second year in a row. (Our 3rd Judge’s Choice ladle since the event began 9 years ago!) The event had an overwhelming turnout with crowds of people wandering town on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, cup in hand! Our booth served over 1,000 samples to folks enjoying the growing Memorial Weekend tradition. Cheers, Tom, to a repeat in 2012… your recipe is widely-recognized now as the tough one to beat! Don’t miss this event, of our booth, next year!

Off to the judging table!

 

Tom’s Award-Winning Chili is Back!

Tom’s award-winning recipe will be back at the Chamber’s 9th Annual Chili Cook-Off held this Saturday, May 28th, throughout Annandale. Visit our booth at City Hall Square, and other participating business downtown and along Highway 55, to sample their chili from 12-3 p.m. Then cast your vote at City Hall Square for the People’s Choice Award. We won Judge’s Choice in 2010!

We like Muriel Rudolphs idea, who visited our booth last year… bring along a muffin tin! This popular event is a real kick-off to summer in the Heart of the Lakes. Remember the reason and have a wonderful Memorial Weekend everyone!
