With the remnants of Ernesto finally gone, the rain stopped and 32 cooks came out to KClinger's Tavern in Hanover for the 2006 Pennsylvania State CCO on September 3rd. Dedicated chili cooks came from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey to participate in the 11th installment of this Pennsylvania Labor Day tradition. In addition to the Pennsylvania State CCO, there was a freestyle chili competition with 45 entries, and a salsa competition with 20 entries. Despite the slightly soggy conditions, the event once again drew a large crowd who enjoyed the many chilis and salsas available for sampling, as well as the popular local bands playing on the stage.
The top 3 placing Pennsylvania residents are -
11th - Krista Ziegenfuss, Hanover PA - 1st time cook
8th - Mary Criollo, Hanover PA
6th - Jeff Ziegenfuss, Hanover PA - 1st time cook
The complete results are -
11th - Krista Ziegenfuss, Hanover PA

"The annual Fiery Foods Festival sponsored by Chili Pepper Magazine will conclude this weekend in Fort Worth, TX. The run-up to the actual 3-day trade show featured 3 days of tasting and judging all kinds of food, condiments, sauces, spices, snacks, and anything that can be made or enhanced with various peppers.(Some of this stuff is so hot there is no reason for it to exist!). Chili cooks were well represented during the tasting and judging sessions. Those participating included Dr. Ray Calhoun, Beth & Jimmy Moon, Dale Reinecker, Jim Johnson, Steve Heaser, Tommy Hornsby and Larry Wampler along with other notables including Rebecca Miller of Channel 5 TV, and Chef Paul Rothe, Executive Chef from Ben E.
