Time to toot my own shizzo. If you’ve never entered a Takedown, then you’ve never received a Takedown Certificate of Participation!!!! Better than any cash prize or bar tab is this handsome official-looking document. Ask any veteran Takedowner: the best part of every Takedown comes at the end, when I get to see the look on the face of every participant, as I hand them their Certificate of Participation. Tears are not uncommon. Note the single tear, trickling down Cathy Erway (pictured above)’s cheek at the end of another Fondue Takedown! If this doesn’t convince people to enter the next Takedown, then I give up. No I don’t! Stay tuned for a CHILI TAKEDOWN at the end of January. More details to follow as I finalize the venue!!!!
