And the winners are....

This year’s Chili Cook-Off was a great time for everyone and a chance to sample some of the best chili Texas has to offer! This year there were 36 entries, a record for St. Francis!

Everyone's chili was unique and delicious. The decor was fabulous. From crazy to elegant, you could see that all contestants put a lot of thought and consideration into their area.

The band rocked the gym! Mr. Warner is very talented and folks were dancing their way between the chili crock pots. The kids had a great time too…from face painting to the coloring contest, many prizes were awarded throughout the event. The winner of the Nintendo Wii raffle was Michael Cook (8th grade).

Most of all, the St. Francis family came together to support the 8th grade Italy trip. We tripled the amount raised last year, which will help pay for some of the costs incurred by the school for such a wonderful experience for our kids.

The judges were almost cross-eyed after tasting all the entries, but they persevered and came up with the winners.

We thank everyone so much for coming out and making this the best year yet!
