Admission is a suggested donation of $5 and, for those entering chili in the cook-off, $2. Veterans participate for free – whether they bring chili or not.
Attendees can sample all chili entries and vote for their favorite. The winner will be announced at the end of the event. The Food Club will provide corn muffins and beverages. Proceeds from this event go toward supplies needed for a community Thanksgiving Dinner the Club will sponsor November 23.
