Greeting Fellow Turner Members,

January has come and gone and we move right into February. We had our first Chili Cook Off on Saturday, January 29th and I’m happy to say it was a great success. Thank you to Stacy and Val for organizing this great event. We had 17 entries with 6 Hot and 11 Mild.  In the Hot
category first place went to Larry Gabriel and second place went to Joe Romaine. In our Mild category 1st place went to Patti Condon and
second place to Larry Gabriel. I’d also like to thank our 6 judges:
Maddux, Reagan, Debbie, Dale, Drew, and Rich and all of our members who came out to enjoy this fun event. Mark your calendars for next year and consider entering your famous chili.
