Chili Cook-Off

The 20th Annual Chili Cook-Off held on February 16th was a great success! Almost 800 people dined on the best chili around! The 35 chefs made the competition even more intense and fun. The total net revenue raised to date is over $8,000! A special thank you goes out to Hugh Miner and Bruce Swihart at Fonner Park for the use of their facility and their support during their busy opening weekend.

All of the volunteer time, gifts in-kind, and community donations helped to raise funds needed for direct emergency services to those in need. This support makes a difference in the lives of disaster victims, patients needing blood, those serving in the military and their families, kids learning to swim and caring citizens who are being taught skills in CPR and First Aid.

A sincere thank you to all the area business', organizations, chefs, judges, volunteers and the community for their support!
