Perspiration (and ale) were flowing as Rotarians and friends tested 5 entrees for Beat the President Chili Cook-off at Karin and Karl Eberhard's Elma Ranch on August 30th.

Ballot stuffers beware: Defending Champion (self-declared) Mike Griffin won 1st place! Second place, St. Louis Blues Chili from T. J. Heller, and 3rd place was Scott Slius' Italian Stallion Chili. Other entrees were Karl Shilanek, Rookie Invader Chili, and Susan Martin, Great White Hope Chili. Thank you to all who contributed corn bread, coldslaw, roasted corn...Birthday Girl Carla and Birthday Boy Adam were treated with individual cakes from Tom Sibert, confectionaire extraordinaire.
Lots of fun photos to follow.
