COOK OFF continued from page 1 of Webster then won his first ever chili title, now his is a legacy and a challenge to follow. It comes naturally though, since he has a grandfather with a world championship title and others in the family with championships as well. Tankis took first in the red chili category. He will now represent the state at the world championships in Palm Springs, CA later this year. Also at Palm Springs will be those who won for green chili, Jack Cowell of Ansonia, CT and Joanne McDaid of Tolland, CT. Winners of the People’s Choice chili was hands down local favorite the Winchendon Fire Department, which also won for the amazing booth set up.

We are a very small group here, and it is the community, all of you, who make this happen,” he made sure to say. On the field it is apparent as representa- tives of many groups help the Kiwanis with the event. Cloutier explains that partnership exists with the Artisan Lodge of Masons and has been in place for several years. Both organi- zations put an emphasis on charitable work with children and as a result have pooled the resources from the cook off with very good results.
