 Fowlerville 4th of July Committee’s Chili Cook-Off to be held Saturday, March 12

The Fowlerville 4th of July Committee’s 17th annual Chili Cook-Off will be held on Saturday, March 12, from 4-7 p.m. with lots of chili and soup to taste test.

This year the event is also presented by KW Corporation and The Michigan Army National Guard Howell Recruiting Office.

The money raised from the Cook-Off helps fund the Fowlerville 4th of July fireworks and other activities held during the local Independence Day celebration.

After being canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19 and held at the fairgrounds last year to comply with indoors’ public health restrictions, the event is back to its traditional setting—the Fowlerville VFW Hall at 215 Veterans Drive.

Besides offering the best chili in the area, the Cook-Off will also give chili chefs the opportunity to compete with soups of their choice for ribbons and bragging rights.

Categories for chili entries include: Judges Choice Spicy, Judges’ Choice, Most Unique, and Peoples Choice.

Categories for soup entries include: Judges Choice and Peoples Choice.

All of the contestants will also have a chance to win the Best Presentation (table area decorations) Award.

Along with the public being able to taste test the entries and vote for their favorites by making a monetary donation, the fun afternoon will include raffles and a Silent Auction.

While taste testing gets your participation started, those attending can also order a dinner. The cost is $10 for persons 13 years and older, $5 for children 5 to 13, with children 5 and under served for free. The meal includes one full bowl of Chili or Soup as you prefer, salad, a drink and a dessert.
