The 2nd Annual AEL Chili Cook-off was a success!

There were nine entrants to the competition and nearly 30 judges. Every judge had three votes to bestow on their favorites, and every chili received votes! Ultimately, Kylee Wilson won 1st place with her "Just Chili," followed by Sawyer Olson in 2nd place with his "2-Rib Chili," and finally in 3rd, Madeline Schumacher on the podium for a second year in a row with their vegetarian white chili.

Kylee will be the keeper of the chili hat for the coming year, but in the fall she will once again have to fight for the honor of keeping it!
