MARYLAND STATE

Hello from the East Coast. The Maryland State Chili Championship was held today in Frederick Maryland at the Flying Dog Brewery. The weather cooperated and the rain held off during the cook off. There were cooks from Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, New Jersey and West Virginia. There were well over 3000 spectators attending to hear music from several bands, drink plenty of awesome Flying Dog beer, and eat first class chili. They were not disappointed. Everyone should think about this cook off next year.
