Tri-County chili cookoff winners announced

MONTE VISTA—Tri-County Senior Citizens held their first annual chili cookoff on Friday, Sept. 15. The goal is to make the cookoff a big, annual community event.
Contestants cooked chili in three categories including red, green and specialty. Local restaurants also participated and part of the fun was seeing if attendees could guess which dishes were from the restaurants. Attendees were able to sample, judge and vote on their favorite chili recipes.
Community members and residents of Tri-County enjoyed the evening and participating in the chili cookoff by being a contestant or judge.
The winners are Sylvia Armijo for specialty, Theresa Abeyta for red and Leo Vargas for green.
