October Staff Chili Contest-- the Winners are......

Great fun was had by everyone at Friday's Staff Chili Contest. The grand prize went to Kelly Kane of Accounting Services (pictured here with her trophy, crown, and prize package). This is the 2nd year in a row for Kelly, and I suspect she is already planning for next year. In the Hot and Not categories, Paul Chenoweth (ITS) won the HOT category and Andrew Kee (User Services) won the NOT catgory making it a technical staff sweep in the lower division of the Great Chili cookoff. Better luck next year to everyone and a big thanks to the other 14 chili chefs out there.

Thanks also to our judges this year for making this a fun event, and for surviving. They were Eric Burford, Michael Cantrell, Julie Hullett, Linda Mullins, and Christy Warren who used their delicate palates to discern who was the ultimate chili cookers out there.

Thanks to all the Staff Council for a great job. Everyone really seemed to like the music, decorations and especially Charlie Brown on the big screen. (thanks Amanda).

Finally, if you missed the Chili event , shame on you, but there is always next year. So, start cooking and find a great chili recipe, so you can wear the crown next year.
