| The Elizabeth Borough Fire Department's first annual chili cook-off was a great success! |
Those in attendance voted for their favorite chili dish, not knowing who the cook was behind the pot. The only rule was that each chili dish had to be tomato-based. There were 15 entries in total and the winners included:
- First Place: Kristy Kolodziej – She won a plaque and $50, which she donated back to the fire department.
- Second Place: Evelyn Folk – She won $25 and a ribbon.
- Third Place: Jan Trumpe – She won $10 and a ribbon.
Buza is planning a possible salsa cook-off for the spring and is seeking ideas for future cook-offs. She has entertained possibilities such as baked beans, barbecue sauce, and potatoes. If anyone would like to make suggestions, contact Buza on Facebook or through email at wlsmith65@comcast.net. Proceeds raised at the chili cook-off and all future cook-offs will be donated to the Elizabeth Borough Fire Department.
