Chili cook-off supports Community Assistance Program
Several Bluffton churches sponsor a Community Chili Cook-off this month with proceeds benefiting the Bluffton Community Assistance Program.
The cook-off is from 5:30 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 18, at the Bluffton middle school cafetorium, according to Carole Enneking. This is the fourth year of the event. A number of different chili recipes will be available for tasting, provided by individuals and church groups.
• Tickets are $5, which include chili tasting
• Additional food items for sale include sandwiches, chips, drinks and desserts
• Entertainment provided by students of Dancers Elite (performing from 5:30-6:15 p.m.) and Krysti’s Music Studio (performing from 6:15-7 p.m.)
• Prize drawing for a gift basket donated by Village Cut & Curl. Tickets given for each donated item (canned or boxed food) to the food pantry.
• Participants will vote for a “people’s choice award” for the best chili recipe
Last year’s People’s Choice Award went to John Hochstetler; his entry will be in this year’s competition as well, according to Enneking.
