The annual chili cook-off will be held Saturday, March 24 from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at St. John’s Catholic Church. Proceeds will be split between the Food Shelf and a trip for students who attend The Table, the Free Church’s youth group.
Registrations for chili teams can be found online at grandmaraisfreechurch.org and turned in at the church. Those who don’t want to make a chili can still participate by eating; chili will be served for a nominal donation.
There are two rounds of judging and two awards decided by a panel of judges. The winner receives the traveling “Chili Cornucopia” trophy. The “People’s Choice Award” winner receives a bowl courtesy of The Attic.
2011 winners were: “Stealth and The Bruce” (Trevor Delamater and Bruce Block), first place; Yvonne Gennrich, representing Mount Rose Community Church in Grand Portage, second place; and a third-place tie between the U.S. Border Patrol cooks and Chelsea Lueck of Gunflint Mercantile.
