******** JOIN THE FUN*******
All you have to do is show up with your Crock Pot full of Chili. The Chili cooks can start their pots here or they can bring the chili prepared and ready for judging. (We are really easy on the rules.)
The contestants can start cooking at 10:30 Sunday morning or any time from then to 2:00 pm. We supply the electric for your crock pot you must bring everything else. At 3 pm we start selling a tasting cup, spoon and voting ticket to the public for $1.00. They can taste each pot of chili once. When they are finished, mark the number of their favorite chili on the voting ticket and place it in the chili jar. When the first crock pot of chili runs out the contest is over and we count the votes. The best chili is the one with the most votes.

Out of the 5 contestants the people voted hers the best and she will remain our chili champ for another year. Next year we will see if our 3 time winner Joe Chuckra will return with his pot of gold to face off with Jennifers tasty chili.

Andrea Card of McAdoo Pa won the 2004 chili cook off. She is a first timer and did an excellent job. Her presentation was spectacular. We had 6 contestants and around 100 votes. Andrea received 32 votes the next runner up was Father Jerry Safco with 22 votes and in third place Michelle Gettig of Weatherly with 18.
