Chili Cook Off - a beautiful tasty day!

No one could seem to believe their good fortune attending the Copperopolis Town Square chili cook off in the middle of January at 71 degrees. The turn out was probably the largest ever with many booths running out of chili by 12:30 or 1:00 pm. Each booth supplied 5 gallons of chili, thats a lot of chili!
