A minor hiccup in the judging on the final day didnÕt cast too many clouds over this yearÕs Chili Cookoff in Ajijic, which drew a huge crowds on all the three days of the event. Although the final tally wonÕt be known for a week or two, organizers expect to be able to hand over substantial checks to the benefiting charities, all located in the Lake Chapala area.
After the confusion was sorted out, the final day placings saw Herb Holman take the Corona Trophy, with his wife Geneva in second place, Joe Barrett in third, Ron Burt fourth and Diego Amezcua fifth.
Organizers say they are pleased with the success of the event but urge more people to step forward and volunteer next year. "There is too much burden on too few people,Ó says Ann Whiting.
Next year, The REPORTER will be spearheading a volunteer recruitment drive Ð so be prepared to help out.
