Pincher Creek Co-op hosted a "Charity Chili Cook-off" at the Ranchland Mall today.  Three participants vied for top chili, based on the votes of Co-op shoppers,  including the Lundbreck Citizen's Council, Kootenai Brown Pioneer Village, and Children's World.  Children's World gets the bragging rights for most popular chili.  Their booth was presided over by Ras Takac.  The local charities were all winners, each taking home a share of the $600 raised by the event.
