Jim Beaty

1986 20th Annual World's

 Championship

Jim Beaty, the Oregon champion, took home the $25,000 check and title of World's Champion by defeating 78 other State and Regional champions from around the world. A tradition was started at the 20th Annual World's Championship as ICS Governors Tom Deemer and Bill Ray led the crowd in "God Bless America" to officially start the cookoff. Sherre Mesker has continued that tradition at all World's Championships as well as many local cookoffs.
