Hostess with the Mostess

 Where was Lindsey Joy Smith this Friday and Saturday? I was playing the hostess with the mostess*/the MC of the Food Storage Cook-off at the PrepperCon, a preparedness convention in SLC.  Good times were had.  There were two qualifying rounds and then then the winners competed against each other for the grand prize of $2000 in food storage, with the second place getting $800 in food storage.  It was loads of fun, and my voice was almost lost by the end.

Three rounds meant three sets of judges.  The gal on the left is from the tv show "The Walking Dead" - which I've never seen.  I'm not the one wearing the crown, thats Mizz Utah USA 2014.  Sandwiched in the middle are the Becky's; Becky Goodrich and Becky Brown, both prep specialists in their own right.

Interviewing round one contestants, with my dear friend on the far right.

What happens when a judge doesn't show?  Your husband gets to judge the contest!

Lucky duck.

The finals had two lovely friends competing against each other: Amy and Mercedes.

The silver lining is that regardless of the winner, both would walk away with a great prize.

Amy, "Radninjas.com" got first, Mercedes finished with a close second.

I was also given a booth for being the MC.  Amy made that fab banner behind me, and Ryan Edward set up my booth.  Cooking classes anyone? Head on over to thechipperchef.com to sign up, and to make your wildest dreams come true.

Now that is a piece of baby fudge.  Norman Harold Thomas Smith, I'm glad I'm your mum.
