HIGHLANDS – The Highlands Business Partnership 2nd Annual Chili Cook-Off fundraiser will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 23, at Windansea, 56 Shrewsbury Ave.
More than a dozen of Highland’s best-known chili chefs will put their recipes to the test at this hot competition. People are invited to come, eat the heat and sample delicious chili while washing it down with plenty of beer.
Tickets are $25 and include snacks, chili tasting, beer and two voting ballots. The event benefits the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which will be held on Saturday, March 22.
There will be two contests. The Professional Cook-Off will begin at 4 p.m.; the Amateur Cook-Off will begin at 5 p.m. Once the chili lovers have tasted all chili, they will vote for their favorite and drop their ballot into the ballot box. The results will be tallied and the winners will be announced at 6 p.m.
Prizes will be awarded to the winners. In addition to the People’s Choice award, St. Patrick’s Day Parade Grand Marshal Henry Moyer and Grand Marshal Nick DiBari will be among the panel of seven independent judges for another contest.
Sponsors of the event include Windansea and Shore Point Distributors.
