Chili Cookoff and Cookie Bakeoff

Do you have a secret family chili recipe that's a surefire winner? Or maybe a cookie recipe that people just can't get enough of? Well, it's time to put those culinary skills to the test!

Here's how it works:

-Bring a pot of your best chili or two dozen of your finest cookies.

-Everyone gets to sample all the entries and then vote for their favorites.

-The person with the best chili and the person with the best cookies will win bragging rights—and a special prize!

Not a cook? We still need you. Everyone is invited to sample and vote. Join us for this fun event on Sunday, October 29, 2025 from 4 to 6 PM in the dining room.
