2014Chili Cookoff

Our second annual Chili Cook off was another great event for BV!  We saw increased participation and more and more BV fr iends and famil ies .  Congratulations to our Chili Cook off winners Julie and Joe.  Not only are they new champions of the cook off, but also new members of the BV community.  We would also like to extend special thanks to Bridget Thompson for leading up this event and to Warren Peck for breaking out his keyboard and raising the band to levels that they didn’t even know they were capable of. 

A great time was had by all who attended.  We are looking forward to continuing with an even larger event, with more excitement, in 2015!
