Months ago I was asked to be in charge of putting together a ward adult dinner. I didn't really have much help, but after asking a few of my ward friends, it finally came together. I'm really glad I decided to do a chili cook-off because most of the food was brought by ward members. I didn't have to figure out how to cook a bunch of pulled pork or whatever. I don't think our ward has had a chili cook-off in quite a few years, so it was well received. But then we all realized that the dinner was falling on the Saturday after General Conference (not able to remind people at church) and also on a four day weekend for families with school children (some families left town that otherwise would have attended) and also there was a BSU football game on that same night. But, we had a decent turn-out anyway. At least it was worth the effort I (and my helpers) put into it. I'm glad to be able to check this off my to-do list.
Here are some pictures I took at the beginning of the evening. Not shown is the "harvest share table" for people to drop off any excess garden produce and also not shown is the "guess who" game of original 5th ward members.
