Alford Media’s 9th Annual Chili Cook-off

The chili has been cooked and judged and the showmanship has been shown! It was a great event and we thank everyone that participated.  Whether you were on a team or just sampling the goods, fun was had by all. Unfortunately, only one team can be crowned as Best Chili and only one team can take home the title of Best Showmanship. This year Team VER brought home their very first Best Chili title and Tom Alford and his version of Santa Claus got the win for Best Showmanship. We would also like to thank everyone for donating to Richard Morales and his family. The funds we raised will help him in his ongoing fight with Cancer. He and his family are eternally grateful.  For photos of the winners and the runner-up awards scroll down. Click for a photo album of the entire event.  See you next year!
