Blue Monday, "Frozen" Chili

I think it's fair to say that the "Frozen" booth at the Alabama River Chili Cookoff

 was a favorite of children. Olaf and Elsa were there to pose for pictures,

 and the chili was sure to keep them warm!

Elvis at the Rock n Roll Diner

Imagine my surprise when I learned that Elvis was appearing live

 at the Rock n Roll Diner! Well, that is what the sign says,

 and sure enough, Elvis himself showed up at Henry Brick Company's booth

 at the Alabama River Chili Cookoff.

 His appearance was enough to get me "All Shook Up,"

 and I FORGOT to take his picture!

 plus plenty of local entertainment.

Dance-Off at the Cook-Off

Sparky and The Cow were crowd favorites for the final dance-off round

 at the Alabama River Chili Cookoff Thursday evening. Sparky won out over 

The Cow (who won last year). The event brought crowds to Water Avenue

 to taste all the chili they wanted from dozens of cookoff teams.

 Proceeds this year will benefit the Cahaba Center for Mental Health.
