I am doing the blog tonight before I go to stay with my Father.  I will be home in the morning and will try to do another section if I get results tonight or other information that I should place on the blog for everyone.  Thanks for your patience.

From Ron Barnes:
Never let it be said that chili cooks aren’t a hardy bunch! We had 36 of the finest folks come out and brave the freezing temps and overcast skies to cook a pot of red for charity. We gathered Saturday at the Rahr & Son’s Brewery in Fort Worth for their 2nd annual chili cookoff and had a great time, even in the cold. Fritz and Erin Rahr, along with their entire team, were most gracious hosts and helped make the event a success! The free keg for the cooks didn’t hurt either! You should go to www.rahrbrewery.com to check them out. Now, on to the winners!
