Virginia State CCO - Janie Bauer
We had an absolutely perfect spring day in Roanoke for the Virginia State
Chili Championship on Saturday, May 6. It was sunny and pleasantly warm
with gentle breezes all the day long.
There was a large (and hungry!) crowd turnout, but many of the cooks had
extra people's choice chili, so most of the public left happy. The results
were:

Traditional Red
1 - Dan Bauer
2 - Vicky Saunders
3 - John Mallon
4 - Monica Parker
5 - Ghon Eckley

Chile Verde
1 - Charlie Whitescarver III
2 - Dennis Loan
3 - John Mallon

Salsa
1 - Ghon Eckley
2 - Dick Steinert
3 - Kim Eckley

New Hampshire State - Gerald Bastien
Due to a couple of unexpected issues the date for the Bronco Bustin'
Chili Fiesta (New Hampshire State) has been changed from June 10 to June 4.
The time is from 11:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
It is the day after the New England Regional Cookoff and a mere 40 miles away. This has been a great cookoff the last two years and hopefully many of the cooks in town for the New England Regional will stay for this one.
For more details contact Gerard Bastien (gbastien@alvirnehs.org)

Regards,
Gerry

33rd Annual California State Championship   -   Karen Ray
It was a perfect chili day in San Bernardino.  Light jackets were needed most of the day because of light breezes and temperatures around 70 degrees.  This is the largest single event in San Bernardino; it continues to be the most popular with the public.  Add to this the fact that it was Cinco de Mayo weekend, and the crowd was even larger than usual.
 
There was something for everyone---a large turnout of PT Cruisers, an assemblage of teardrop trailers, the 2nd Annual Menudo contest, an Open and Restaurant division, an Open salsa contest, a Firefighters challenge, Mr. Hot Sauce, Ms. Chili Pepper, Little Ms. Chili Pepper, a chili eating contest (the winner ate three 16-ounce bowls in 5 minutes!), Shoot 'n' Holler, Karaoke contests all day, a Western stunt show, a dunk tank featuring local politicians, vendors, a raffle and, of course, the usual chili cookoff contests: Salsa (21 entries), People's Choice Chili (everyone), Chili Verde (17 entries) and Traditional Red Chili (37 entries).
 
Chairman Mike Austin put together his usual well-organized event, assisted by his family and by Los Padrinos, a local youth service organization.  Major sponsors of the event were Walker Foods (the manufacturer of El Pato Products), Juanitas Foods (who sponsored the Menudo contest) and The Friends of San Bernardino Parks (who also worked tirelessly to organize the event).  Chief Judge was Bill Ray.  Scorekeepers for the ICS events were Karen Ray, Mary Ellen Weber, Allene Macklin and Patti Summers.  Scorekeeper for the non-ICS events was Donnie Gordon, assisted by Willma Maehl and Linda Porter.  Emcees on the two stages were Steve Porter and Claude Covington.  Site Coordinator was Dennis Macklin.  Many other folks helped in various capacities, too numerous to mention, but all are hugely appreciated.
 
And the winners were:
Best Decorated Booth and Best Showmanship: Udo Winkler, Parrot Head Chili
 
Salsa:
3rd, Bob Dyer
2nd, Charlie Blosfield
1st, Janice Moody.  Janice won this contest in 2002, 2003 and 2004.  In 2005 she had already qualified for salsa and could not compete; her husband, Mitch, won the contest. 
 
ICS People's Choice Chili:
3rd, Geraldine Villalpando
2nd, Leo Nolen
1st, Jesse Trueba
 
Chili Verde:
3rd, Kenner Peterson (11 points)
2nd, Mike Ford (17 points)
1st, Mitch Moody (with a whopping 33!! points)  Mitch also won this contest in 2005
 
Traditional Red Chili:
5th, Bill Woodring
4th, Charlie Blosfield
3rd, Sheila Beller
2nd, Jim Rasey
1st, Leo Nolen of Crestline, CA
 
 
Virginia City Results    -    Bob Grayson
 
VIRGINIA CITY, NEVADA DISTRICT CHILI COOKOFF
 
Finally----A gorgeous day, clear skies, warm, dry, and no wind. Big crowd, and lots of cooks, 20 red, 10 Verde, and 14 salsas. And the winners are:
 
Best Booth: Leann Bryan, Voodoo Chili
 
Salsa: Tie for third--4th Larry Fishal NV
                            3rd Bill Flamm NV
                            2nd Ed Pierczynski NV
                            1st Skip Cooley
 
Chili Verde: Tie for third--4th Glennise Tyree OR
                                    3rd Ron Judson CA
                                    2nd Shirley Judson CA
                                    1st Gerry Lind CA
 
ICS Red: 4th Mary Pierczynski NV
              3rd Bob Tyree OR
              2nd John Jepson
              1st Ed Pierczynski NV
 
This is Doc's second District win, so he is now qualified for the WCCC in Omaha.
