Italian Chili

At the Benton County Sheriff Foundation's Chili cook-off, one of the competitors had an Italian theme. I wonder if it's what they ate on all those spaghetti westerns? Here's one of the chefs posing for a quick portrait.

 

Furniture Share BBQ and Auction

I went to Tyee Winery south of Corvallis Saturday evening for a Furniture Share fundraising event. It was a Texas Style BBQ and Hoedown with a live and slient auction. There was some live music, a magician and other entertainment for the whole family, plus the food and adult beverages of course. Linn County commissioner, Will Tucker, acted as auctioneer for the live portion of the auction. Here's a shot I grabbed. More pics available on Facebook and Flickr!
