Msfiddler, I will be making chili that day BUT since I am the one running the fundraiser I am not entering my chili into the actual contest SO... you should definitely enter!!!
There will be a charge of $5 to come eat chili and that would be to sample them all! Then you put a couple extra $$$ in the jar for the one you like the best...
And Beer YES there will be beer served since it will be at the American Legion.
I hoping this will be a huge success!! I will be hopefully confirming the date by Sunday.
