It was a great day at Applebee's Park in Lexington, Kentucky the site of this year's Bluegrass Regional Chili Cookoff, as cooks competed in one of the last cookoffs before the World Championships in just a couple of weeks in Las Vegas. The number one Chili Cooking family, the Lentz's (Diane, Larry, Carrie, Laurin and son-in-laws David and Christian) put on a great show for the participating cooks. The cookoff was held at the ballpark that is the home of the Lexington Legends and proved to be a perfect place for a cookoff. Make sure to check next year's cookoff calendar and mark this event on your schedule. Now onto

Joe DeFrates Memorial Regional
6th Annual
Sept. 28 2008
.
Once again the Ansar Shrine Patrol members did another outstanding job of hosting the International Chili Society sanctioned Joe DeFrates Memorial Regional Chili Cookoff.
This group of people go all out to help all the contestants, judges and public attendance. What a GREAT Group!
Hats off to Rick Wray (Cookoff Chairman) for all of his efforts and work to keep all this going so smoothly.
Rick and the other members of the Patrol are already planning for even better things for this cookoff in the future. Keep this cookoff on your radar.
.
Proceeds from this event go to the Shriner's Children's Hospital and Shrine Charities. Although the totals for this years cookoff have not been tabulated, this event in the past, has raised several thousands of dollars to the above Charities.
.
The weather was perfect all weekend for the cookoff and the "Route 66 Mother Road Festival" which claims to have had their largest crowd ever and with more than 800 Classic Cars.
.
This was absolutely the "Last Chance" to qualify for the 2008 World's Championship to be held at the Tropicana Hotel & Casino in
.
With that we had several very good Salsa and Chili cooks
.
SALSA 10 contestants (10 judges)
3rd = Dearl Thomas 11 pts. (
2nd = Larry Eastep 12 pts. (
1st = Mike Goodman 18 pts. (
.
CHILLI 23 contestants (17 judges)
4th = HM 3 way tie with 8 pts each, not broken. Hillary Schmedeke, Gary Ballweg, and Mike Goodman.
3rd = Jim Deere 9 pts. (
2nd = Tina Kruse 13 pts. (
1st = Dearl Thomas 14 Pts. (Clinton, IL.) $1,000
.
Not everyone can be a winner each time, but the ones this time were very, very happy.
And some that were close have expressed going to the Tropicana and the 2008 WCCC and trying for the "Last Chance" and some for just having fun.
Bright spot of the day was when we all learned that Dearl, not only has to carry Mary's bags, but that he gets to carry his own as well to the WCCC.
Congratulations to all the contestants......They are all winners!
