Kempton Pepper Jam – Fire Duo SUCCESS!!

The Fire Duo made their way to the Kempton Pepper Jam this gorgeous spring weekend.  The festival had over 40 vendors, including some of our favorites; Hot Lips (the best selection of rubs!!), Defcon (excellent sauces), and Cactus Pete’s (yummy beef jerky…).  In addition to our enjoyment of the multitude of vendors, the festival had “The Last Man Standing” pepper eating contest.  ‘Rapid Fire’ Russ and Deirdre ‘Girl on Fire’ were among a group of 10.  The event consisted of two rounds of Jalapeno Peppers, followed by Serrano, Thai Bird Chili, Habanero, then Scotch Bonnet and a few rounds of dried ghost.  After exhausting the Ghost, the results were a three way tie for 1st – Rapid Fire Russ, Carl and Chris; Deirdre ‘Girl on Fire’ was 1st place women and 3rd overall.  We’d like to thank the event organizer Dave for hosting such a spectacular festival and unique competition (hard to believe this was his first year of doing this).  Congratulations to all !!!
