This year&#8217;s competition did not disappoint.  It came down to the Ricks vs. the Cobras&#8230;with the Titans split between the two teams.  It all went down at Ockanickon and this year&#8217;s secret ingredient was Pringles.  The Ricks were hoping for a repeat, but the Cobras showed some finesse in the dessert round.  <a href=\"https:\/\/patch.com\/new-jersey\/flemington\/annadale-boy-scouts-compete-iron-chef-competition\">Get the details here<\/a>.<\/li><li>In May, <strong>our annual flag retirement ceremony<\/strong> took place at Lebanon&#8217;s Holjes-Sheppard Park, we retired dozens of flags.
