Duggan takes First Place in Chili Cook-off; Harrison wins People’s Choice
On Saturday, Dec. 21, the first day of winter, the temperature was a bit chilly in the Breck Trade Barn as contestants cooked up their pots of chili for the City of Breckenridge’s third annual Chili Cook-off.
Cooks, judges and those just there to taste the chili were bundled up against the cool weather.
When it came down to counting the votes for the People’s Choice Award, two candidates tied — Leslie Harrison and Lisa Duggan — and a coin flip determined Harrison to be the winner of the coveted Chili Cookoff apron and “braggin’ rights.”
Based on the judges tallies, Duggan won first place ($100), and Harrison came in second ($50). Andy McCuistion also entered the competition.
The judges were Genoa Goad, Felicia Anthony and Mike and Vikki Bartock.
