Chili Cook Off in Norwich Tonight

Saturday, 24 March 2018 07:55

17 teams will duke it out for the top prizes at the Norwich Optimist Chili Cook-Off tonight.

NORWICH - The Norwich Optimist Club is on the hunt for the best chili in the township.

They are hosting their annual Chili Cook-Off tonight at the Community Centre.

Seventeen teams will battle it out for the top prizes this year. First, second and third place awards will be handed out for the Most Flavourful chili. Prizes will also be presented to the teams with the most unique ingredient and the best display.

Event Chair Kelly Murphy says the local firefighters brought their "A" game a couple of years ago.

"They definitely got the award for the best costume; they were dressed in hula skirts, they had a tiki hut set up and they had made their chili with pineapple in it."

Murphy says the teams will have a say as to where to money goes this year.

"Anyone who enters the Chili Cook Off will get a percentage of the funds raised to donate to a children's charity or organization of their choice."

Some of the options include Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Norwich Upper Deck Youth Centre. You can also donate the funds to a local sports organization or church youth group.

It will take place between 5:30pm and 8pm tonight. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for kids, but kids under the age of 4 will get in for free.

You can find more information on their Facebook event page.
