This chilly Halloween at Sol, we got creative with slow cookers and costumes. The Sol team raised the bar for our costume contest, with creative, unique, and “punny” costumes. Some teams donned group costumes, and others, costumes with Solar Energy themes. Regardless, Solster’s didn’t turn down the opportunity to show off their brilliant minds and Halloween spirit. Of course, this year we had a lot of Nats Spirit as well. Aside from goofy costumes, perhaps our favorite Halloween tradition is our Spooky Chili Cook-Off. Sol Systems is home to outstanding cooks and bakers, always willing to display their extracurricular skills in the office. This Halloween’s cookoff featured two categories; Meat Chili and Veggie Chili. Our five competitors faced off in the Sol Cafe during lunch, eagerly presenting their dishes to ravenous coworkers who anonymously voted for their favorite dish in each category. Roasted corn, chicken, red peppers, and a phoenix spice blend were just a few of the not so secret (anymore) ingredients our contestants added to their chili recipes.

If picking a cook-off winner wasn’t hard enough, voters also had to pick their favorite costume of the day. From Captain Crunch to “Spy”der-Man (the eventual winner), picking our favorite was no easy task. By end of day, winners were announced and presented with their awards and appreciation. Each contestant walked away with an award, some glory, and the satisfaction of keeping our spooky Halloween tradition alive and tasty.
