Champions of Chili

The winners are announced for the Rotary Club's 9th Annual Chili Cook-off

Anyone who ventured into town for the Rotary Club’s event on Sunday was rewarded with perfect weather and an insane selection of the town’s best chili. There was something for every chili lover, and even the non-chili lovers could enjoy food from the other participating vendors or the Gay Street restaurants, which remained open.

Winners were chosen by the crowd, with each taster receiving 3 wooden tokens to vote with. Now that the votes have been tallied, the official list of winners is as follows:

PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD
