Chili cook-off
Lynn Salyer (top) and Roger Wilson scoop into pots of chili, during the fourth annual Dick Driml Memorial Chili Cook-Off, sponsored by Driml's coffee buddies and the McCook Community College Boosters. The judges selected Matt Sehnert's chili for first place, and the "People's Choice" award went to Max Brodersen. Rajean Rucker and Lonnie Weyeneth stirred up the second-place chili, and Craig and Stacy Olsen's came in third. Bested in the People's Choice division-- by just $1 -- was the chili created by Paul and Dal Wood and Phil Lyons. The college's "Sound Investment"-- represented here by (top, from left) Ashley Carman, Karmon Nelson and Ryan Carman -- performed while chili connoisseurs taste-tested 15 chili concoctions. The pencil drawing (right) of the late Dick Driml, who was a band director at MCC, is by Rock Parsons.
