Chili Cookoff Brings Food, Music to Patterson

Do you love chili?

The Carmel Rotary Club’s 2nd annual Chili Cookoff is planned for September 19 at Camp Herrlich in Patterson.

Rotarians this week invited chili cooks—professionals as well as amateurs— to enter the competition.

Chili cookoff chairman Eddie Covelli said professional and amateur divisions will be judged separately.

For those who love eating chili, Covelli said the event will provide an “affordable afternoon of chili tasting, fun and entertainment. Rotarians will provide something for everyone since for the non-chili lover, hot dogs will be served.”

In addition to good “eats,” live music will be offered by the Acme Acoustical Band.

All proceeds from the event will aid the Carmel Rotary Club’s charitable giving to community organizations and projects throughout the county.

Tickets are available in advance for $8 or for $10 at the door. Admission for children under 12 is $5. Covelli said a special $25 entry fee will admit a family of five to the event.

Those interested in purchasing a ticket this week are asked to contact Rose at 225-5114. Additional information is available on line at www.carmelrotarychili. info.

The cookoff takes place from noon to 3pm on the 19th.
