October 7, 2011

The 6th Annual Chili Cook-Off last Saturday drew approximately 100 chili tasters.

First prize winner of $100.00 in the Texas Style (no beans) category was Montana Hutton with his 'Montana Chili'. Montana donated the money to The Heritage Museum in honor of his Mother and Father.

Second prize winner of $50.00 was Zack Whitzon and his wife Sherry for their 'Zack Attack Chili'. This is their second year entering. They travel from Moyie Springs and spend the night here to compete. Both Montana and Zack have entered many large chili cook-offs. In fact Zack and Sherry were married at the World's Championship Chili Cook-Off in Las Vegas in 2001.

First prize winner of $100.00 in the All Other category was Helen Tarbert with her 'Chili with a Secret' Helen entered in 2009 and won first prize. That was the first time she had ever made chili. This was the second time she has ever made chili.

Second prize was won by Sami Pierson and Larry Hebenstreit for their 'Red Bowl of Courage'.

The coveted award of 'People's Choice' was won by Montana Hutton. He received a commemorative apron.

The judges for the event were Julie Macdonald, Paul Bradford and Mark Peck.

Plans are being made for the 7th Annual Heritage Museum Chili Cook-Off next fall, so start testing those recipes over the winter.
