The Chili Cook-Off could not be a success without the many volunteers who help throughout the weekend.  A big thank you to all the Chamber members who helped with setup, tear down, and at the token booths, beer stands, and souvenir stand at the 26th Annual Chili Cook-Off. 

We would also like to thank the sponsors of the 2009 festival!  We really appreciate their support! 

Hope to see you all in October 2010!
