Yesterday I had a great time at the Chili Cookoff at the Sedalia Center near Big Island. Along with team members and supporters from the James River Float Company in Madison Heights, the Upper James Riverkeeper represented JRA as one of dozens of entrants in the contest. Chris from JR Float Company was the chef and creator of our unique creation - "Riverkeeper's Revenge." Although we didn't walk away with a prize we did get lots of praise from attendees and a lot of attention for JRA and the Riverkeeper's work. About 40 people signed up to receive information from JRA and expressed their interest in helping us protect and improve the River and its tributaries in the Lynchburg and Bedford County areas.
Thanks especially to Mason Basten for helping us get involved in this event and for being our constant guide in the Lynchburg community.
