2nd Annual Breckenridge, CO Chili Chilly District

a Great Success

By Steve Tomasek

.

The 2nd Annual ICS Chili Chilly was a huge success via large crowd and a 50% increase in the number of ICS entries vs last year. This indoor event saw cooks travel from CT and UT to join over a dozen Colorado cooks to heat up the ski town for the second year. Again, the Rotary Club folks hooked up with HJ Doug Sovern and SK Donna Sovern to run a very smooth cookoff. Everything was right on time, all tables, chairs, and even table cloths were provided.

.

The winners for Red & Verde received a nice cash prize, trophies, and a two night Resort Quest return stay!

All others received cash and trophies.

.

Here's the results:

Red:

1st: Mick Weiss;

2nd, Erika Knutson;

3rd, Bonnie Tomasek

.

Verde:

1st, and qualifying for World's, Erika Knutson;

2nd George Trujillo;

3rd, Mike Rook

.

Salsa:

1st and qualifying for World's, Kathy Weiss;

2nd, Steve "Deuce" Tomasek;

3rd, first timer, Doug Swartz.

.

Plans are being made for next year's cookoff!

.

There is a Ramada in Key Largo which is about twelve miles from the cookoff.

.

When I used this to find out price it was $95 per night. AAA rate would have

been $161.
