The Eagle Bay Volunteer Hose Co., Inc. would like to thank everyone who participated, attended and supported our 3rd. annual Chili Cook-Off and Open House held on Saturday,February 27 at the Eagle Bay Fire Station.
We especially thank all those participants who cooked up their special chili concoctions and entered them for judging in our annual Chili Cook-Off event. All together we had thirteen entries that were competing for top cash prizes in four Chili Categories.
We also say thank you to our Chili Judges: Jennifer Lamphear, Mitch Amidon, Barbara Maurice and Frank Salvatore, who had the tough job of tasting all the chili entries and then had the even tougher task of deciding whose chili reigned supreme.
We lastly want to say thank you to all the volunteers who helped out during our event and to members of the Eagle Bay community and surrounding areas who came to our fire station to taste and enjoy all that delicious chili and then took the time to vote for the People’s Choice Award. Your support was truly appreciated.
Our congratulations to the 2016 Chili Cook-Off winners who won in the following categories: Best Fire Department Entry – Eagle Bay Fire Department; Best Professional Cook Entry – Red Dog Tavern; Best Amateur Cook Entry – Bill Maxim of Remsen; Peoples Choice Award – Bill Maxim of Remsen.
At the end of our Chili Cook-Off, the Eagle Bay Fire Dept. Ladies Auxiliary, sponsors of the annual CA$H BA$H Raffle held the drawing for the winning ticket. This year’s winner was Bryan Bennett from Old Forge. Our congratulations to Bryan for winning our annual raffle.
Every year our annual CA$H BA$H Raffle and our Chili Cook-Off has gotten bigger and better with more participation. From the reactions and support that we received from the Eagle Bay and surrounding communities, both events were a great success. Your support is truly appreciated!
Jim Zurakowski, Secretary
