Chili Cook-Off Oct. 6th
Come and get it!
by Heritage Museum
October 2, 2012
This Saturday, October 6th, the gates will open at 7:30 AM for chili cooks who will then have until noon to come up with their best blend of special ingredients to hopefully win a prize in the 7th Annual Chili Cook-Off at The Heritage Museum. This year’s panel of judges includes Lynn Zimmerman, Lincoln County Circulation Librarian; Alan Gerstenecker, Editor of The Western News; and Shanda Jennings, Executive Director of the Libby Chamber of Commerce.

Judging begins at noon and is based on presentation, aroma, consistency, flavor and aftertaste in two categories: Texas Style - No Beans (Meat with tomato base, chilies and seasonings) and All Other Types. Prizes of $100 cash for 1st place, $50 Rosauers gift card for 2nd place and $25 cash for 3rd place will be awarded in each category. Prize sponsors are: Edward Jones, Frontier Communications, Rosauers, Loveless Realty and DeShazer-Ryan Realty.

Sampling by the public will begin immediately following the judging. For $4.00 you can purchase a sampling "kit" with enough sampling cups for each chili, cornbread, and a ballot for voting for your favorite. The "People’s Choice" winner will receive a special award in addition to bragging rights! Desserts will also be for sale in the cookhouse, so you can top off your chili with a piece of pie or cake. Beyond Help will be playing music, so come on down, enjoy the aromas and music, then sample all the contenders and vote for your favorite.

Call Chairperson Susan Castaneda, 406-293-2171, for more information.
