The Chili Cook-Off returns for the second year and a golf tournament has been added.
Judging for the Chili Cook-Off will be by popular vote and a team of judges. Each person who buys a $5 chili ticket will receive an arm band. After each person has completed their tasting they will place a numbered armband in the box labeled with the name of his or her preferred cooking team.
Tasting will be from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Trophies will be presented for first and second place based upon popular vote (taste and presentation) and overall by a team of judges.
