Once again, the Chili Cookoff will feature teams representing Floyd County EMS, Floyd Volunteer Fire Department and Floyd County Sheriff’s Office, with all three organizations benefiting from the fundraiser.
Beginning at 6 p.m., the public is invited to sample chili prepared by each of the three teams at no charge and then vote for their favorite. People’s Choice voting tickets are $1 each, and guests may purchase as many votes as they would like. Proceeds from People’s Choice voting go to the winning organization.
A separate panel of judges will also sample the entries and select the winner of the Judges’ Award.
While chili samples are free, donations are encouraged. One hundred percent of donations and sponsorships from the Chili Cookoff benefit Floyd County EMS, Floyd Volunteer Fire Department and Floyd County Sheriff’s Office.
The annual Chili Cookoff is one of Floyd County Rotary’s signature fundraising events and an opportunity for the community to come together in support of the first responders who serve Floyd County throughout the year.
The Chili Cookoff runs from 6 to 7 p.m., but the evening continues with Citizens Telephone Cooperative’s free Boots & Broadband Bash until 9 p.m., featuring line dancing, music, food trucks and more.
