To begin, eight local chefs and restaurants will compete for the title of “Best Chili,” giving attendees the chance to sample each entry and vote for their favorite.  In addition to the chili sampling, tickets include a chili dinner with cornbread, dessert, and one raffle entry.  Also, a hot dog bar with toppings will be available.  Furthermore, event-goers can purchase soft drinks, beer, and wine on-site.

Adding to the lively atmosphere, local favorite “PB&J” will perform live music throughout the event.  Attendees can win exciting raffle prizes or place bids during the dessert auction.  As stated before, all proceeds will fund Soroptimist of the Sierras’ education projects for women and girls in the area.
