It is time again for the Springfield Board of Realtors Great Chili Cook Off. The final judging will be done about noon Friday (July 18) in Springfield's Island Park. Just follow you nose to the competition. There are six competitors scheduled this year, but once they smell my chili, they may all drop out.
The competitors, beside me, are: Ann Ross, Equity/GMAC Realty; Steve Ouellette, Equity/GMAC Realty; Sherry Waters, Equity/GMAC Realty; Dave Mara, D.C. Real Estate; and Erin Gangestad, Western Title and Escrow.
This promises to be a hard fought battle as the six competitors go head to head for the title of champion chili cooker for all of the Springfield Board of Realtors, a hugely coveted title. Early odds with the Las Vegas syndicate show a slight favoritism for Steve Ouellette, but Erin Gangestad is showing a huge surge as the betting window nears a close. The judges are in seclusion so there is no possibility of favoritism or buying or influencing their votes prior to the contest. So, the grand prize of $3,000,000 (more or less, most likely less) is still up for grabs.
Judges, contestants and samplers have been asked to stay down wind of the after party.
