2013 Texas Chili Contest

We were fortunate to again attend the Chili contest in St Thomas on Brewers Bay Beach. It took place Sunday, but people started setting up on Saturday.

The contest is ready to open

Sunday at noon, after a morning of heavy rains, the beach was ready and the event began!




Bettys sets up a great display!
It was a good time!

There were a lot of contestants and a good crowd of attendees, of which we were two. I was glad I wasn’t a judge because there was a lot of very good chili to be had. I guess the pictures tell the story.
