Attention all Chili lovers! Sparta Township Historical Commission will be hosting a chili cook-off on May 15th from 4:30pm to 7pm at the Civic Center as part of the Sparta Town & Country Days. We are inviting members of the community to submit their favorite chili (no more than 4 quarts) for a chance to win prizes in four categories: traditional, wild game, white and spicy.
There will be a limit of 10 entries in each category with submissions due by May 4th. Must be 18 to enter and one entry per person. Judging will be a blind judging by several local business owners.
Go to the STHC Facebook page to join by putting in a comment with your name, phone number and type of chili. If preferred, please email [email protected] with your information.
Prizes/ribbons will be given to the top three in each category. There is no charge to submit your chili. Please deliver your chili to the Civic Center by 4pm on May 15th.
Chili dinners will be available for purchase. $10 for a bowl of chili, corn bread, crackers, dessert and a drink; $5 for a bowl of chili; and $5 for a “flight” of four chilis.
Please join in supporting the STHC and their new museum space. Hope to see you there!
