The 3rd annual Keller Williams Chili Cook-Off in Jackson, MS was a huge success! Our local Keller Williams market center raised over $1300 for KW Cares, our national non-profit organization.
Since this was my first year to attend the annual cook-off, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the chili was mmm, mmm good, it was a gorgeous fall day, and everyone who attended enjoyed indulging in the festivities.

First, second, and third place prizes were awarded for the best chili and also for best table decorations. I'm not quite sure how our local judges made their decisions, but they took their responsibilities seriously!
Everyone who participated made awesome chili and we appreciate each and every vendor who contributed.

First Place went to Luckett Land and Title.
Second place was awarded to Chan Vessell at First American Title Company.
Blair Chandler with Prime Lending in Ridgeland, MS snagged third place.

The People's Choice award went to Magnolia Home Inspections.
Congratulations to all the winners! Thanks to everyone who participated and worked behind the scenes. I'm sure this event will continue to grow and our KW family can raise even more funds for our charity next year.

Unusual Yard Art ~ Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This!
When I saw the unusual landscaping in the front yard of this Jackson MS home, I had to circle the block to snap this photo.
I've seen creative uses of found objects before in my everyday travels, but this one may win the prize of "most unusual find".
The property is located in the trendy Fondren area of Jackson.
If you'd like to share your unusual yard art photos, I'd love to see them. Please e-mail them to me at patstarnes@kw.com. Let me know if I can borrow them for future features.

If you are looking to sell your home, but are discouraged by what you read or hear about the real estate market, don't despair. While it is true that the market is challenging, it is encouraging to note that some homes DO SELL. If you need to sell, your home will have to BEAT THE COMPETITION.
What do I mean by "Beat The Competition"?
Your Castlewoods home will have to be priced competitively, because buyers shop by comparison. Your house will have to shine from top to bottom. Every nook and cranny should be clean and freshly painted. For FREE tips to Make a Good First Impression, click here:
