Well, the Big Chili Contest attracted a massive crowd and raised thousands for The Red Stocking Fund, thanks to your participation!

Our contestants put a lot of work and passion into their chilis, and their hard work paid off. A wonderful time was had by all and the chilis were terrific. Thanks to all who participated and attended the event! See more pictures here.
