Mt. Airy, MD is a small town between Frederick and Baltimore. It may be small, but it's got a lot of Heart. The Mt. Airy Main Street Association sponsored the event that drew a nice crowd on a cloudy and cool Saturday. The rain held off until 5 pm, after everyone was packed up. This was the start of the storm that flooded the Northeast. The timing of the cookoff couldn't have been better. Steve Falkowski was Chief Judge and Audrey was Scorekeeper, assisted by Kim Eckley. The local Boy Scouts did a great job selling hot dogs and doing any odd job they could, including helping a rookie cook set up and test her new stove. The chairperson, Barbara Corbalis did a great job on her first cookoff. A special thanks to Elle who supplied the use of her not yet open flower shop for all the judging. The event was a great success with 29 cooks and lots of good judges and volunteers. We hope to see more cooks there next year.

Status of Lompoc Cook Off 4/21/07
This is who I have doing what:
.
Jim Beaty red,
Eileen Beaty red, salsa
James Rasey, red, verde
Dave Thomas, verde
Daniel Placencia red, salsa
Sheila Beller red, salsa
Gene Beller red
Irene Menchaca red
Paul Laroche red
Brian Kearns red
.
So if I'm counting right we have 10 reds, 3 greens and 5 salsa. We need 4 more green and 2 more salsa. Worse case is if we are not sanctioned for green or salsa, at least there will be prize money. But you know how those chili cooks are, they just keep you guessing and show up, bless their hearts!!!
.
I've talked Derril into making some bloody mary's for us so we can toast Ray and wish Harry Edgar get well wishes. If you don't know, Harry and Kathy won't be here, Harry has leukemia. We wish him all the best. Joel Erickson will be our chief judge and Bev will be chief scorekeeper. I'm sure you all remember Johnny Mc Candless, from the old chili days, he is in town and will be coming down for the cook-off.
.
See you all on Sat.
