Cook's Corner's Cookoff

.

Well the Cook's Corner's Cookoff is a thing of the past. We had a great turnout with 20 Reds, 12 Salsas and 12 Verdes. Jim Stoddard came all the way from Texas to do Verde and Salsa, and Marty Leitner came from Nevada to do Verde,and Al Henry from Colorado to do Red. It was great to see all of the cooks and judges. The weather turned out to be warm, (no June gloom) and sunny. Rhonda is a great hostess and always there if we need anything, thanks Rhonda. Chief Judge Don Hammes keeps things running smoothly.

I want to thank the Judges who came to help, expecially Dick Swenberger who is always Johnny on the spot to help anyone with a cookoff, we missed Nancy, hope she is feeling better. I also want to thank my assistant Scorekeeper's MaryEllen Weber and Ellen Dyer and Wrangler Sachiko Brecke.

.

A very special Thank You has to go to Mark Hammes for ALL the help he provided to Don and many of the Chili Cooks by providing Canopies and Tables.
