Thank you to everyone that made this event possible. The planners, volunteers, participants and the community created a wonderful new event for our town that will hopefully bring great memories to come. We were so fortunate to have such a variety of yummy chili.

Congratulations to Ross Lorenz at Restaurant 553 for winning the Professional categotry, to Jack Kimmel for taking both the Amateur abd Best Decorated booth category and to Lisa Wood and Gabriel Finnegan at Spring Street Cafe for winning in our People’s Choice category. Around 200 people attended this event and enjoyed sampling chili and supporting our local crafters. Thank you to Lily’s Treasures, Heinzelmannchen Brewery, Bubacz’s Undergroud, Annie’s, Mill and Main, City Light, Matthew Shirey of Shira Forge, Golden Age Center and A-Fair View band for their generous donations.
