Geppetto’s 1st Annual Chili Cook Off Joins Battle Against Breast Cancer
By Cathleen Roy The First Annual Chili Cook Off held at Geppetto’s in support of fighting Breast Cancer in early September was considered a complete success. The day included a silent auction complete with a grand prize of two 50 yard line Box Seat Tickets to a Winnipeg Blue Bomber game. A total of eight contestants entered the competition.
For a $5.00 donation spectators were able taste and vote for their favorite. Spectators were handed a bowl and took part in tasting each contestant’s chili entered into the contest. When the tasting was complete, the adhoc judges were asked to vote for their top three favorites with a first, second and third place rating. Cash prizes were handed out to the top 3 winners. Third place
took home $25, second place received $50 and first place put a $100 in their pocket. “I’m glad I saw the ad in The In Seine Newsletter,” said Sue, Second Place winner. “I had a great time and will definitely be entering again next year.” “My Chili is my own creation and this is the first time I’ve made it,” commented Rick , the third place winner. “I think it turned out
good.” Contestant Roger says he heard about the Chili Cook off when he stopped in for a hot dog and saw the sign. He said he will be back next year and this event seems well organized. “My Mom is a close family friend of Sandy’s (owner of Sandy’s Snack Shack) and I think this is a great concept,” said Hillary Chaput. “My mother, Ruby Chaput, is battling Breast Cancer. Ruby is the whole reason the Chili Cook Off came to be.” Organizer, Sandy Cote said she would like to thank everyone for coming out to supporting this great cause. 1st place winner was awarded to Marie. The event helped raise $1,000 for the fight against Breast Cancer. “I hope everyone marks there calendars for next year when we do our second annual cook off in August 2013,” concluded Sandy.
