The time has again come for the annual Georgetown day festival in Georgetown CT. Georgetown is a small section of rural Redding CT. It's basically a one street town. For one day a year in June they close the street and have vendors, bands, kids events and of course, a chili cook-off.
I have participated now for about 6 years and each year it's a blast. The cook-off is basically a popularity contest. When I first joined it, it was a cook-off with judges for 1st 2nd and 3rd place. Plus there was a people's choice. That year I took 3rd place and people's choice. Since then it's been a people's choice only award. You come and pay $10 and get a cup and spoon and go from Chili to Chili trying each and vote for your favorite. Each chef has their own group of people that come to support them which usually weighs heavy on the voting. But the bottom line is that its fun. it's fun interacting with the people, it's fun interacting with the other cooks.
So if you want some Chili and want to have a good time please come out to Georgetown this weekend. I can certainly use your vote.
