Hudson Valley Regional Cookoff Results

The fall season is upon us and along with the beautiful colors nature gives us; there is definitely a chill in the air. That really held true for the Hudson Valley Regional Chili Cookoff held on Saturday, October 14 at Woodstock Harley-Davidson in Kingston, NY. As we drove to the cookoff, the temps were in the low 30s, but the sun soon came out and warmed us up. The cool temps sure didn’t keep the hundreds of motorcycles away either. These bikers love this cookoff. We had a great turn out of the cooks also, as well as 3 rookies. Thanks to all the cooks who come out to support us at this cookoff each year.
