The annual chili cook-off for St. Andrew By the Sea was held Sunday February 21st in the Fellowship Hall.  For a pittance you could vote on your favorite chili and dessert, and once again have a hand in proclaiming the greatest chili cooks and dessert makers in the congregation, if not the world.  There were over 500 votes (dollars) cast and everyone had a good time, at least until the indigestion set in later in the evening.  Thanks to Mae Alanko and the Fellowship Committee for hosting the event, and especially Susannah Lax for the decorations.  The winners of the chili cook-off were Bill Martin, Mae Alanko, and Linda Chappelle.  The dessert winners were Boots Bass, Carolyn Burnette and Linda Brown.  They are pictured below from left to right.  You may enlarge the photos if you want to see their prizes by clicking on the small photos.  In case you are wondering why there are two photos, just remember that the web master was one of the winners.
