Do you have a great chili recipe or are you a chili lover?

The Orcas Fire and Rescue Volunteer Firefighters Association is pleased to announce their first ever Chili Cook-Off.

The contest will be held on Saturday, June 1 at Fire Station 21 in Eastsound, from noon to 2 p.m. Tickets to sample the fare are $7 each or $10 for a family.

Contest entry is $25 and a prize will be awarded to the cook-off winner. The event  is a benefit to support the programs of the Volunteer Firefighters Association.

The menu also includes hot dogs and soft drinks in addition to the chili. There will be plenty of family fun including a bicycle maze for kids. A bike technician will be on hand to do free safety checks, so kids bring those bikes. This is sure to be a fun-filled day for one and all, so get your tickets early.

Judging will begin at 1:30 p.m. so bring your appetite and your chili, say organizers.

For contest registration contact Rachel Harvey at 298-1317. Tickets are available for purchase at Darvill’s BookStore, the Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce, and Orcas Fire and Rescue Station 21 in Eastsound.
