Winners

Delaware Valley Regional Chili Cookoff    -     by Jim Stoddard

Greetings from the great northeast!

I was privileged to attend the first Delaware Valley Regional Chili Cookoff this past weekend.  Why was I privileged?  Because of the awesome work of some awesome individuals.  Specifically, Rhone Carr, who was driven to acquire the resources who made this event one of the best I have attended.  Who else?  Dave Lorenz, chief judge, and who did so much more.......very little sleep, and much support from his beautiful wife Cindy, who is GREAT with child.  AND..........MAD MIKE!!!  This guy is the best!!!  Another one of those guys you can count on for a truly wonderful cookoff,  Thanks to you all and the many volunteers you had and what a WONDERFUL job they did!
