2008 Chili Cook-off

PLEASANT HARBOR YACHT CLUB
3RD ANNUAL
CHILI COOK OFF
January 26, 2008

Hosted by last year’s winners, Dick and Sheila Moore, the annual Chili Cook Off was once more a fun event with about 25 attendees.
There was a pre-event of home brew (wine and beer) tasting at the pool shelter provided by Greg Tyler and Dick Moore. The weather was cool but dry and the propane heaters did a good job of keeping us warm (the brew helped too).


We had 5 entries plus a pot of last year’s winner to taste and they were all terrific. As promised no expense was spared to secure "Celebrity Judges" and Dick Moore was very grateful to have the current Commodore of Port Ludlow Y C Kevin Ryan and his lovely wife Susan as well as the Vice Commodore David Aho and his lovely wife Linda.
Everyone waited patiently while the judges tasted the entries and cast their votes. The "Cook Off" and potluck were great as usual with lots to eat.
This year’s grand champ was Jan and Norm Gustafson with first runner up Cindy and Jon Adkins. Thanks to all who entered and attended as well as the staff of the Marina Deli and hope to see you all next year.
Check out the trophy "POT" on the shelf by the Yacht Club bulletin board in the marina dining area.
