We of the Black Gold Chili Pod want to thank all of the cooks for coming and being a part of our Pod Cookoff. We appreciate your help with raising money for the Great Pepper’s Meeting to be held in Midland this September. Your generosity toward the Gateway Family Services group in Snyder is also appreciated.

I would like to say Thank You to Connie and Tim for all of their work to provide a wonderful place for the cookoff and to all of the Black Gold Members – near and far – for all of the work you did to make this another successful cookoff.” Patsy Childress
