Pierce’s 5th annual Chili Cookoff (Held on October 3rd) was an amazing success.  
The weather was perfect, and the garage was hopping, with wonderful people, fun conversations, and incredible chilis.   While it’s hard to keep count of folks who attended, based on the voting, at least 48 people participated.  
Special thanks to our chefs, who volunteered their time, ingredients, enthusiasm, and excellent chilis to benefit Pierce’s Store.  Our chefs were: 
Lavinia Seide
Rebecca Rice
Amy Shelby
Val Hannan
Ed Sawyer
Adrienne Raymond
Dashiell Monder
Freddie Monder
Jeff Monder
The chilis were all incredible.  After tallying the votes, the winners are:
First Place :  Dashiell Monder  
Second Place:  Lavinia Seide
Third Place:  Val Hannan

Thanks to all!
