2020 Chili Cook Off

The Swanton Enhancement Project is sponsoring a Chili Cookoff on Monday, February 24th from 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. (just before the Town/Village 2020 Budget informational meeting @ 7 p.m.).  Both will take place at the Village Complex at 120 First Street.

Contestants will prepare their favorite chili* recipe; attendees can sample the dishes and vote on their favorite. Two winners will receive gift certificates of $100 and $50 at the end of the meeting. There is no cost for the chefs or the dinners.

To enter, download a registration form, or email your name, contact information, and chili style & heat level to chili@swantonenhancement.org. There is a limit of 15 entries, so sign-up now!

We hope you will attend to enjoy some free home cooking and to meet and mingle with other Swanton citizens.
