Rainy weather brought kept
the crowds from St. George Island last weekend but it still managed
to be a fun and successful 37th Charity Chili Cook-off and Auction.
Three
Sheets to the wind chili out of Helen, Georgia took first place in
the professional chili cook-off, earning a 500 dollar cash prize and
the opportunity to compete for 25 thousand dollars at the National
chili cook-off.
They
gave their 500 dollar winnings back to the fire department.
2nd
place and 300 dollars went to Red Hot chili Peppers out of Panama
City – that was their second 2nd place win in a row.
Third
place and 200 dollars went to Over the limit chili from St. George
Island who also returned their winnings to the fire department.
There
was also a salsa competition – all three places were won by the
Spice Boys from St. Louis.
The
crock pot chili winner this year was JG Carver of Vestavia, Alabama.
The
Tallahassee and Forgotten Coast Parrotheads joined forces to win the
showmanship and best booth awards.
The
St. George Island Fire Department is still totaling the amount raised
over the weekend and expect to release figures later this month.
All
of the money raised on Saturday helps fund the St. George Island Fire
Department and first responders unit – it makes up about half of
their budget.
