Chili Challenge 2009

The proceeds from the annual FEF Chili Challenge go to supporting the Foundation, which provides and oversees scholarships for FISD students and the Grants for Great Ideas program for educators.

This year's event was held at Pizza Hut Park and brought out a great crowd ready to buy a spoon and bowl and hit the booths. Both the chili and the themes of this year's entries were some of the best ever tasted or seen or in some cases heard.

A committee of volunteer judges tasted in a blind contest where entries were only identified by number. The judges took their tasting very seriously and enjoyed every bite. The trophies went to:

:

1st - Bright Elementary

2nd - Pioneer Heritage Middle School

3rd - Fisher Elementary

Also judged by non-campus employed volunteers were the booth themes. Those winners in the elementary and secondary categories were:

1st - Mooneyham Elementary

2nd - Curtsinger  Elementary

3rd - Taylor Elementary

2nd - Tie between Staley Middle School and Construction Dept.
