Simmons. “This is my third time to come to Corinth and it’s always a fun event. Simmons, a two-time chili verde world champion, has been competing on the chili circuit since 1982. He also competed in the first annual cookoff in Corinth. “Steve (Knight) does a good job and that’s why you get good cooks,” said the 2002 and 2006 world champ of the local event organizer. The 76-year-old from St. Louis, Mo., who entered the red and chili event in Corinth, had some advice for those looking to get into the competition. “Keep it simple,” said
PETS the leader of his team Chili By Jerry. “The key is cooking chili until it’s done, then you taste it and make adjustments.” Simmons said the green chili or stew, as he referred to, is the best chili. “It’s better and has more variety,” he said. Hall, chili verde world champ from 2009-12, won the green chili division in the first year of the local event. “Corinth is a great place to come and enjoy the people here,” he said. “This cook-off is an equivalent to one that is 20-years-old. It is starting to bring in a lot of people … Steve has done a great job.” Jeff Netser of Seymour, Ind. was the fourth past
champion involved on Saturday. “This is a nice place to come and my wife gets to spend some money at the Green Market,” said the 2005 chili verde world champ. “They’re are some good cooks here today.” Proceeds from the annual cook-off are slated to go to the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter. In the ICS-sponsored competition, the winner of each category qualified for the World Championship Cook-Off. Categories include Red, Chili Verde and Salsa. Seven local teams competed. For a complete list of winners, including People’s Choice and Local Favorite, see the Tuesday Daily Corinthian.

chance to ride.” Even though no ponies were available this year, there were plenty of dogs the students tried riding while they waited to be presented their blue ribbons. “Each child was presented a ribbon that pertained to something special about their pet,” said Huskey. Parents were asked to bring supplies such as food, towels and newspapers in support of the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter. “They were encouraged to bring a live animal or they could also bring a stuffed animal or a picture of one,” said Huskey. Sixty-four children took part in the annual event after a lesson about animals. “We talked about how God gave us all these animals and how we need to care for them,” said the director.
