Touching story. 
I really want to attend one of these cookoffs one day.
Bubba, the most heartwarming part of that story for me is the fact that this family, although living with a severely disabled child continue to live their lives to the fullest.
That's so cool.
and HEY! 7th out of a couple of hundred? That's very cool too.
