What an exceptional day to go to an Exceptional Chili Cook Off. The weather could not have been nicer. It was a great break from the frigid temperatures of late. The 6th Annual Exceptional Foundation's Chili Cook Off was today. Jeremy have been trying to go for the past few years and always seem to forget. Not this year.
The chili cook off benefit's the Exceptional Foundation which provides social and recreational opportunities for adults and children with disabilities. I have seen first hand what a wonderful resource they are to some of my students.
We loaded up and headed off to enjoy the festivities....along with at least a thousand other people.....
John and some of his buddies cook each year and we hung with them.
Of course we couldn't come to a Chili Cook off and not sample all the favors!!!
I think Jeremy is pondering the greatness of chili, or the special ingredient, or something like that....
Back at the tent it never slowed....Think Waffle House on a Saturday Morning with the yelling and screaming and slinging orders...but with chili.
Jeremy and Amelia loved all the excitement...and people watchin'
We even got to see our buddy Douglas, but he was not feeling the best.
In the end the guys did not win, but I still think their chili was the best!!! The day was beautiful, the food was great, and the cause was exceptional.
