Our first Annual Chili Cook-off was a huge success. We had somewhere between 300-350 people attend this event. Many of the attendees came up to us asking us to host this event again. We had 28 entrants, who cooked up some fabulous chili. The hall was filled to capacity for our chili enthusiasts which helped us earn money to help support our local youths.
If you haven’t turned in your money yet, please turn it in to Rick Dietzler as soon as possible.
Thank you to everyone for all your efforts on the event. If you have any suggestions how we can improve next year’s event please contact Nancy Schuster.
