Chili's On! Calling All Chili Chefs- Margot Ferron

Some like it hot, some not, but there will be plenty of chili for everyone to sample at the 4th Annual Chili cook-off to benefit the American Cancer Society’s 20th Relay for Life of Mission Viejo. 

The cook-off is hosted by the Community of Character on Sat., March 15, 2014 at the Norman P. Murray Community Center, 24932 Veterans Way, MV 92691 from 11:30 am – 2 pm.

We need Chili chefs to whip up their best batches of chili for a good cause.  Anyone 14 years and older can compete.   If you are under 14 years old you need to be accompanied by an adult.
