The Big Event!: The Fourth Annual Crofton Chili Cook-Off

In the first year, we saw an artisanal of chilies … venison chili, white chili, and even a chocolate chili; in the second year, the contestants brought some heat; and in the third year Shiner Bock was the secret ingredient that took the top spot. Who will be the new Crofton Chili Cook-off Champion? Are you ready for some chili?

Crofton’s fourth annual chili cook-off will be hosted by the Crofton Rotary Club, the Crofton Farmers’ Market, and Living in the Triangle magazine, on Wednesday, October 17th, from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m. at the Crofton Farmers’ Market (at the Crofton Country Club.) There are two awards that will be given:

· Crofton Chili Cook-Off Champion

· Crofton Chili Cook-Off People’s Choice

Participation in the contest is free for entrants. Contestants should reserve their place in the contest by registering here. We suggest registering early, but please register no later than October 15th.
