From Larry Velasquez:
The Festival on the Trails celebrates the unique history of Gardner, KS where the Sante Fe, Oregon and California trails met and then separated to the old west. In a true "shoot-out," there was a three-way tie for first place with first time CASI cook, Chris Fox of Gardner winning the tie breaker. A torrential rain and strong winds didn't dampen the cooks' spirits as they held on to their canopies and cook stoves and continued to cook.
