It’s time to line up your spices and get ready for the Chili Cook-Off on October 11th at McLeod Park, brought to you by the Women’s Ministry of Chokoloskee Family Church of God. Some like it spicy and some like it mild; you are the “Chief Chili Chef,” so your secret recipe can be spiced however you like it.

Besides a delicious array of chili, the event also includes raffles and lots of fun.
