Page 243 Lincoln Daily News 2024 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2024 Continued -- Tom Cecil, who has won the competition before, said his daughter Courtney Cecil helped put in a lot of work in making their meaty and spicy chili. Second year competitor Jayden Gulley said his chili had a bit of a kick to it. Among those trying the chili was the new fair royalty, who sampled a bit of each one. Those who sample chilis seem to enjoy various flavor combinations. After the judges sampled all the chilis, decided on which table had the best presentation and tallied the results, the winners were announced. 2024 chili cook-off winners included: Christy Cross and her team, who won both the people’s choice award and best presentation. The People’s Choice is determined by the number of dollars inserted in the vote cups at each competitor table. There is then a team who collects all the cups, counts the individual “votes” for each table and determines the People’s Choice.
