Lompoc District Cookoff. – Winners List

.

Patti Shiflet put on another terrific cook-off this year at Lompoc. The weather was perfect and the crowd was larger this year than in recent memory. We had 10 Red Chili's, 7 Salsa's and unfortuantely only 2 Verde's were enteried, but both were very competitive according to the Judges. Joel Erickson was the Chief Judge and Beverly Erickson was the Chief Scorekeeper. This was the first year Harry & Kathy Edgar were not Chief Judge & Scorekeeper in at least 10 years as Harry was told he has Leukemia. Our thoughts are with Harry & Kathy for better days ahead. Patti started the day with Bloody Mary's in Honor of Ray Little & they served Ray's memory quite well! The Winners were:

RGV Regional on South Padre Island.

I am wanting to communicate to the cooks coming to the
RGV Regional on South Padre Island.
.
The cook off site is at the end of a 100 yd boardwalk.
Those cooks driving in could be a big help to their
fellow cooks who are flying. If they could bring a
two wheel cart along to share it would make this task
easy. Setting up Friday evening after 6 pm will be
easy as they can drive in. The water park is open
til 6 pm but on Saturday it is open until 7 pm and
they can't drive into the area at that time for safety
reasons. They would have to wait until the crowd
emptied out. If they want to get out fast they will
have to cart or carry the equipment back to the
parking lot.
.
If anyone can bring a two wheel cart along it will be
a big help for those in a hurry to get out. Just
planning ahead.
