Rambling #29 3rd place all around!

Every year on Veteran's day our Board of Realtors has a chili-cookoff. Since our business is often very closely related to realtors, our office competes in the cook-off. One year their was a poker or cards theme but this year was a red, white, and blue and stars and stripes theme. I had been asked by Chris to make an entry for the dessert competition. I love making pies and so early in the week I made a cherry and a chocolate pie and had the office vote for which pie they would like entered in the competition. The cherry pie just barely edged out the chocolate pie in the office vote.

Thursday afternoon came and so Chris, Kristi, Keith , and I loaded up cars to head out to the board of realtors building to set up our booth. Here are some pics of our booth.



My pie entry for the contest.
We also had to provide a pie for everyone to eat, so here is our public pie. It is not a cobbler, cobblers don't have crust on the bottom. This is still a pie just made rectangular not round.
Some of the other tents or competitors.

They even had one of the local high schools ROTC come over and present flags

We had a great time and in my opinion the best chili and pie. We actually took home 3rd place in both the chili and the dessert!
