What a weekend that was! Picture perfect weather, great people &
LOTS of chiles & food :-)
Too many folks to try and even list that are owed thanks, from Jeff, Rob &
Will who organized everything to do with the hot sauce contest; to our
intrepid judges who slogged their way through all the sauces, jellies,
candies, BBQ's & salsa's; to the folks that helped me clean up all the
trash; and especially all who contributed to the charity- either in the form
of raffle prizes (Brooke, Kendra, Susan, BETH, CaJohn, JohnT, and
many others) or for bidding (Scott KCK, Dan H, Hennifer, and others) or
in the purchase of raffle tickets (Pepper Le If I buy them all, no one else
can win LePew). Raised for the charities through the incredible
generosity of chileheads: $2,337.91 Future police officers (Jason
Baker Memorial Scholarship, Army Officers (LtGen Maude Foundation),
firefighter kids (Jim Cleek Scholarship), and I sincerely thank you!
That total still goes up a bit as people get their official poster from the
event at OpenFieldsonline.com
Please consider this the first official announcement and invite to make
plans for next year: Sept 26th & 27th 2009.
