#31: The Chili Cook Off Challenge

Stop eating right now.

Seriously.  Start saving room for the Chili Cook-Off Challenge tomorrow.  The event is happening from 11am - 9pm, so you have plenty of time to gorge yourself.  There are eight downtown restaurants competing and showcasing their special chili recipes.

All proceeds benefit United Way, and it's $5 to join in the tasting.  Look for volunteers to participate and get your chili 'scorecard'.  Voting is free and open to the public.  As if food and democracy wasn't enough, all voters are registered to win prizes from downtown vendors.

There's tons of other activities going on downtown tomorrow as well (a concert at CJ's, scary stories at the library, et al).  Gotta love First Fridays.

Where: Eight participating restaurants downtown.
When: Friday, 11:00am - 9:00pm
