Chili Cook-off St George Island Florida

The citizens of St George Island view the Annual Chili Cook-off with mixed feelings. Sure, it benefits the Volunteer Fire Department and fills the rental condos in the off season but…
“Well, some us consider it a good cook off if our mailbox survives.”

Hordes of “Yahoos” (Identified by their frequent calls of  “YaaHOOOO!!”) appear, rent every four wheel conveyance in several counties and ride around, beer cup in hands giving off their characteristic call.










Older citizens set up lawn chairs at protected corners and observe (with obligatory beer cup in hand).
Tourists actually pay an entrance fee to the Brave Firefighters and buy one dollar sample chili cups from the competitors or larger servings if you prefer (dare).



Chili Dogs








Other Animals were on exhibit
