FREDERICKTOWN FIRE DEPARTMENT 6TH BIENNIAL CHILI COOK-OFF

Date: Saturday October 25th 2014
Time: 8:30 AM
Place: East Main Street in downtown Fredericktown
The Fredericktown Fire Department and their families will be putting on a chili cook-off. Downtown Fredericktown will become a haven for chili lovers of all ages. Teams will compete for prizes and to have the honor of the best chili in the area. The proceeds will go to the Fredericktown Fire Department for the purchase of new training equipment, and a separate fundraiser for our very own Firefighter Kyle Polete to offset medical costs. This year they are turning on the burners and asking you to join them by making this event red hot. A jalapeno eating contest, music, games, and fire safety taught by elmo will fill the day. Don't miss it! It will be a must see event. Click here for more information.
Electric will be provided but teams are encouraged to use propane due to the limited supply of electric.
