  Notes from the WCCC
   
  This is the second year that The International Chili Society has added a chili verde competition to their World’s Championship. In 1999, our chili verde competition was rather small by comparison to the bowl of red, but in the year 2000, we judged 89 bowls of the green goodie.

In second place was Dione Cooley, a veteran red chili competitor from Reno, Nevada. She went away with a trophy and $500 in prize money. $200 and a trophy were presented to third place winner, Darol Wetzel all the way from Manhattan, Montana. As you can see, our World’s Championship truly is comprised of contestants from all over the country.
