Chili Fest

So Saturday was the much anticipated town of Superior's "8th Annual Chili Fest" in conjunction with the "28th Annual Mile High Chili Cook-off" (a regional International Chili Society event). The winner walked away with a chance at the World Championship Chili Competition in Vegas next month which not only sounds fun but has a $25,000 prize. There were 18 entries and in my completely objective opinion, the best chili at this years Regional Event finished 4th.

Here are the best cookers of chili in the world and 4th place finishers (Chris and Katherine):
Meanwhile, in a galaxy far far away (and across the street at Flatirons Mall).......our favorite StarWars characters were in action. Parker, Will and I headed over there to meet them and kill time while the chili simmered. Here are some shots we got before we decided to leave. (Waiting in line for 1.5 hours was not on the agenda....we only made it about 35 mins....but still had fun and got to see Clone Troopers, Rebel Troopers, Darth Vader, Sand People, Jango Fett AND R2-D2!

And if that wasn't enough for a fun day......we came home that evening and got to spend a couple hours with Uncle Jeremy! He and his friend Michael were on their way back to Arkansas after having spent a week up in the mountains. My apologies as my head was not on straight and I did not get a picture to prove it. I am sorry Nana. We loved seeing you Jerm and Michael! Thank you for swinging by!
