The 16th annual Chili Cook-off, sponsored by the Fowlerville 4th of July Committee, is planned on Saturday, March 14, at the Fowlerville VFW Post 6464, located at 215 Veterans Drive. The event takes place from 4 to 7 p.m.
This is a major fundraiser for the committee, with the proceeds used to fund the fireworks, along with the parade and other activities, that are held in Fowlerville on Independence Day.
Contestants, usually numbering around 20 or more, will offer their specially-made entries—ranging from mild to extra hot and everything in between. Each and all promise to be interesting.
Those attending will taste-test these different chili recipes and vote on their favorites with a cash donation.
There’s a new addition at this year’s event. A Homemade Soup Contest will also being held. So if chili isn’t your ‘dish’, then you’re invited to join this part of the competition or try the various soup entries, with the same voting taking place.
A full bowl of chili or soup, along with a full salad bar and desserts are available for purchase.
Other activities include a 50-50 cash raffle, a silent auction, and several vendors will have booths set up, selling merchandise.
Contestants for the Chili and Soup cook-offs are still being accepted. If interested, the entry form can be found on our Facebook page, Livingston County Fireworks or by contacting Michelle Soli at MichelleSoli@yahoo.com or Brandon Denby at BDenby@livgov.com.
