Chili, Camo and Lots of Trash Talkin'

In case you were wondering how the chili you picked did in the 13th annual E. G. Simmons Park Chili Cookoff and Flea Market, here are the results:


Third place went to Ronnie Barnes of Brandon and Tracy McLellan of Plant City for their "Graveyard Gruel."

Second was awarded to Patrick Pruitt of Seffner for "Back to Nature."


First place and $300 went to Venice residents, Donnie Mitchell, Kirk Chason, Rob Blankinship and Linda Cole for their "No Road Kill" chili. The team generously gave their winnings back to Friends of the Park, a non-profit group to benefit E.G. Simmons Park.
