Chili Cook Off, 4 July 2008
And the Winners Are ...
by Lora Bloss/10 September, 2008
ARA's fundraiser was so successful, and such a good time, that it has been dubbed, "the first annual Dog Days of Summer Chile Cook-Off." We plan to do it again next year.
The chefs cooked up a storm in their efforts to walk away with the coveted title of BEST CHILE in Manzanillo.
Funds collected will help support our on-going spay/neuter certificate program, our education program and our goals as defined in our mission statement. A big thank-you to all of our supporters, the chefs, the judges, and the taste-testers!
