Local businesses will present an assortment of chilis to be tested by professionals and citizens. Participants could take home the prize of Best Chili, People's Choice, Best Decorated and Top Fundraiser (as additional monetary tips help the participants earn this prize).
Taste all of the chilis for $14 - we'll take cash or credit cards. If a chili is extra good, leave them an additional cash tip! (Bring some extra dollar bills!!)
