Let’s just start by saying… y’all showed up and SHOWED OUT Saturday morning at the Williams Grove National Open Chili Cookoff ! ❤️🏁
First, a huge thank you to James Chianos and the B**r Hill Gang for thinking of us and inviting us to join the fun! And to everyone who stopped by, shopped, chatted, and supported us—THANK YOU!
I’ll be honest, this was my first time attending! In past years, National Open weekend has been pure chaos between the merchandise trailer, the kids, babysitters, and, of course, the race team. This year, the team came to our house Friday night and worked here so Sean could be home with the girls while I went to the cookoff. ❤️
Shoutout to my in-laws for coming over late Saturday morning to help Sean with the girls, then staying with them all night while we went to the races. It takes a village, and I’m thankful for ours!
And I guess I should thank my dad, too, for hanging out with me and providing the entertainment. If you were there, you probably understand. 🤣
Funny enough, I had already planned on making chili for the race team Saturday night at the track. They all told me I should enter the cookoff next year… so maybe we’ll be selling AND competing! 🤣🌶️ We’ll see if they’re still that confident when they have to help me make a whole lot more of it. 😂
I’m already calling it… WE WILL SEE Y’ALL NEXT YEAR! Now that I know what to expect, I promise we’re coming back BIGGER! 🙌🏁
