The entire event was organized so much better than last year. Hats off to Sally and her group for putting this on. Well done. Thanks for the mention. I appreciate the kind words. Even if I did get a little excited!

: We would like to take a minute and say thank
: you to all the incredible competition teams
: and Certified, Senior, and Master judges who
: came out on Friday and Saturday to make the
: 9th Annual Project Host Competition Cookoff
: a HUGE success. Last year over 99,000 meals
: were served at the soup kitchen. In
: addition almost 50,000 meals were served to
: the after school kids. If this wasn't
: enough, the Project Host facility also has a
: culinary school teaching those who are
: unemployed or down on their luck how to cook
: and hold down good careers in the restaurant
: industry. The money raised through this
: competition all goes back into giving back
: to the community. All of you who
: participated know how big the crowds were
: and I was pleased to hear that many of you
: sold out of your Friday night "Anything
: Butt" creations that you sold.
: Everyone that I spoke with did nothing but
: praise the event. Thank you to Sally Green,
: the director who organizes this starting
: right away for the next year.
: We want you to know that we started a new
: award at this event. It is called TOOT YOUR
: OWN HORN. It is in memory of Mike Horne (who
: passed away in February) who was a faithful
: member of SCBA, on the Board of Directors,
: Photographer in the Upstate as well as
: Previous Marshal of the PROJECT HOST. The
: award will be a plaque that will have each
: year's Anything Butt winner (the one who
: raised the most $$) name and Cook Teams Name
: inscribed on it. It will be updated each
: year with the new winners name and cook
: team. The tickets from Friday night's
: competition have not been counted or shared
