Indy team wins chili cook-off

Mary Howley and Bill Quinn, an Indianapolis-based chili cooking team, captured the second annual Syracuse Chili Cook-off, held Saturday in the parking lot of the Syracuse Rubber Co. After winning the local cookoff, which was sponsored by the Syracuse Lions Club for the second year, the duo is now eligible to compete in the state cook-off in their hometown of Indianapolis. Bill Gerding, representing Chili Mad, finished second, while Ralph Villanucci of South Bend concocted the recipe that came in third. A panel of individuals with celebrity status of varying degrees cast the votes that decided the winners of this year’s chili cook-off. Judges for the affair were Kosciusko County Sheriff Al Rovenstine; State Senator John Augsburger; Gary Smith, director of the University of Illinois Marching Band; Paula Darr, Executive Director of the Indiana Kidney Foundation; Ray Gard, South Bend Tribune state editor; Bob Williams. WSBT-TV, South Bend; and Ken Dußois of the Lone Star Brewery. A long-standing “chili war’’, pitting Lions Club representative Ralph Thornburg and Chamber of Commerce’s Joe Gray in head-to-head chili cooking competition, resulted in a victory for Gray. A disappointed Thornburg turned over a check for $25 to the Indiana Kidney Foundation, who was the beneficiaries of the day’s proceeds. The chili-related activities were actually only part of the day’s activities. The Outlaws and the Oldtimers both performed for onlookers, some of whom, obviously caught up in the ex-

.■ ''wSx^'• ~ ~— FESTIVAL WINNERS — Charlotte Schooler of Bremen and Steve Larson of South Bend won the best of show awards at this year's Village Art Festival at Amish Acres in Nappanee. Mrs. Schooler won the three-dimensional category with her handmade table cloth while Larson won the two-dimensional category for his watercolor. “California Persimmon." The 20th annual festival began Thursday. Aug. 12. and lasted until Sunday. Aug. 15.

Artists and employees make festival possible

“The artists are the most important, of course, but without our employees, the festival couldn't happen," commented Dick Pletcher, owner of Amish Acres in Nappanee, at a press luncheon on Thursday Aug. 12. Pletcher announced festival winners at the luncheon attended by Mayor and Mrs. Robert Callander. Judges for the event were Teri Douglas Larkin, administrative assistant at the Notre Dame museum, and Noel Dusendschon, professor of fine art in painting and design, at Indiana University extension in Fort Wayne.

citanent of the afternoon, felt the urge to dance along with the music. Other highlights included a knife and tomahawk throwing exhibition, and an afternoon-long egg throwing contest, with participants attempting to catch eggs thrown from a cherrypicker as high as 50 feet above them. Magician Matt Kalita performed slight-of-hand tricks for the crowd, and. near the conclusion of the chili cook-off, had himself secured in a straight jacket and hung, chained by his ankles, from the cherry picker at a height of over 25 feet. Escaping from the jacket proved no problem for the Michigan City magician-escape artist, however, as he was free in less than 30 seconds. For all the excitement of the Kalita escape act, by far the tensest moment of the day came when the large truck offering cook-off spectators cold beer on what was a warm afternoon began to have problems with a back-up of suds, and had to temporarily shut down. Operators of the beer stand worked feverishly as a hostile crowd of thirsty onlookers grew with each passing moment. Finally, the flow problem was corrected, preventing what many felt had all the ingredients necessary to become a lynching. A number of chili cook-off participants were less than pleased to have not finished higher in the standings than they did, and many vowed to return to the competition next year. It was uncertain how many of the judges would be available for the 1963 cook-off, having first to shake off the effects of downing over a
