Seneca HealthCare District Wins Big with Chili

SHARE NOW
Seneca Healthcare District and the Seneca Healthcare Foundation had a blast warming up our community with delicious bowls of chili, fun giveaways, and plenty of Valentine’s Day cheer! 
Seneca stated that they were proud to bring home 1st Place Judge’s Choice, 3rd Place People’s Choice, and Best Showmanship — talk about bringing the heat.
Heat met sweet at the Chilly Chili Cook‑Off hosted by The Almanor Foundation on Valentine’s Day!   
A lively crowd turned out to taste, sip Bloody Marys, and enjoy an afternoon of fun, music, and friendly competition.
After sampling 11 different chilis, guests cast their votes for People’s Choice:
🥇 Cowboy Joe of Elegant Farmer
🥈 Almanor Fitness
🥉 Seneca Foundation
Our esteemed judges—Tom McGowan, Barbara Montandon, and Kelly Konzelman—made the tough calls for Judges’ Choice:
🥇 Seneca Hospital
🥈 Mill Creek Resort
🥉 Coldwell Banker’s Laura Briggs & Linda Pohler
And for Best Showmanship?
🏆 Seneca Hospital took home the honors.
It was a day where the competition was hot, the drinks were cold (and plentiful), and the community spirit was off the charts—an easy 10!
