First and foremost a special thank you to our Chili & Pie Cook-Off Committee, who worked so hard behind the scenes planning, organizing, and making sure everything ran smoothly. Your time, dedication, and teamwork truly made this event possible, and we are so grateful for all the effort you put into making the evening such a success!
A huge THANK YOU to our amazing participants who brought their best chili and pies to share. Your creativity, friendly competition, and delicious recipes made the event so much fun for everyone involved!
We’d also like to extend a very special thank you to our generous raffle donors. Your donations helped make our raffle possible and added so much excitement to the evening. We encourage everyone to support these wonderful local businesses and organizations who helped make the event possible!
