Winners List:

May 1, 2010 - Roanoke, VA

.

What follows is the list of winners from the VA State Championship Chili Cook-Off last Saturday, as well as a link to the newspaper article that ran in the Roanoke newspaper the following day. I'm really, really sorry that I'm only now sending you this information; this week has been very crazy and I've had very little time at my desk. Please forgive the delay in sending out this information.

.

Lots of talented Cooks, lots of delicious chili and salsa, and some absolutely gorgeous weather last Saturday enabled Greenvale School to pull off our third most successful Chili Cook-Off on record, raising more than $33,000 for Greenvale School's program, and I credit a lot of our success to the FABULOUS Chili Cooks who competed this year and drew a huge crowd of patrons! Congratulations again to everyone !!!!! We applaud your talent and your success last Saturday! Thank you very much for your support of Greenvale School!

Please let me know if you'd like any additional details about the VA State Championship Chili Cook-Off, and have a great day! Thank you so much to the ICS and the Dick's Chili World blog for any publicity you can share with our event and our talented participants!
