Do you make a killer chili? Have a recipe that will have steam coming out of your ears? Peel the bark off a tree? Make your nose tingle, toes curl and eyes water? Call out local fire departments from Henniker to points north, south, east and west?
If you think your chili measures up, is the hottest, sweetest or sassiest around, put it to the test! Enter the eighth annual Henniker Rotary Club Chili Fest on Aug. 21 from 1 – 4 p.m. at Pats Peak in Henniker.
If you represent a club or organization or are just a great chili-making aficionado, enter the Amateur Division and win cash prizes for your favorite non-profit. Last year 32 competitors entered this category. $1,100 in prize money will be awarded. $400 to the Peoples' Choice Chili and 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes ($400, $200, $100).
