There was lots of great food, and probably a certain amount of indigestion Saturday as the Cheltenham Fire Hall was the scene of the sixth annual Chili Show Down in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. A number of families and community groups were offering their own particular recipes and mixtures in support of the cause. It was a family affair at this table as Sydney Lynch, 9, served up Syd's Chili Tacos, while her father Captain James Lynch offered seafood chili, which ended up taking top prize.
