Buy your public library chili cook-off ticket now and save $2
Chili lovers can save $2 on Bluffton Public Library's chili cook-off when they purchase tickets in advance of the event, according to Cindi Chasse, library administrator.
This year's cookoff is Saturday, Feb. 25, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The library you to warm up with great chili and enjoy live music at its second annual "Cook for Books" Chili Cook-Off.
Save $2 per person by getting advance tickets at the library for a minimum donation of $6 per person. Tickets will be $8 at the door unless the event sells out in advance. Ticket holders will enjoy a sample of each chili, dessert and beverage. Live entertainment will be provided by local musicians. Jim Boedicker will perform from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and Matt Keeler from 12:30-1:30 p.m.
Three local "celebrities" will conduct a blind taste test to determine the 2012 "Cook for Books Chili Champion." Each ticket holder will also have an opportunity to vote for their favorite chili to determine the "People's Choice" winner.
With the generosity of sponsors, cooks and volunteers, the library will be using 100 percent of the proceeds from this event to purchase additional youth and teen materials. These additional materials would not be possible otherwise, due to ongoing state funding cuts that now exceed 35 percent per year.
