The Highland Center to Host 3rd Annual Chili Cook Off

The Highland Center’s 3rd Annual Chili Cook Off  will be held on Saturday, November 2nd starting at 5pm.  The event will include unlimited chili tasting and a cash bar.

 

Entry fee is $10 per adult and $5 for kids 12 and under.  Proceeds from the event support Highland Center programs.

 

I sat down with interim executive director of the Highland Center, Mary Beth Gutshall to learn more. 

 

New this year, three special prizes will be awarded to the people’s favorite, best presentation/tablescape, and best toppings. This adds up to more than $1,000 in prizes and a lot of fun for all who participate.

 

Cooks must pre-register by filling out the form at thehighlandcenter.org. Contestants are responsible for supplying their own crock pots, table decorations, and toppings. The Highland Center will provide access to electricity and one table per registrant, as well as spoons, napkins, and sample cups. The building will open at 3pm and contestants should be setup and ready to serve starting promptly at 5pm.

 

Those attending will be able to vote in all categories, and prizes will be awarded in cash before the end of the evening. Don’t miss this fun community event on November 2.
