1^st Annual Dog-Days Chili Cook-Off  - July 31st

 

Ever hear of the “Dog Days of Summer”? It’s a term used for the hottest, most sultry time of summer, typically between July and early September. It’s hazy, humid, and everyone moves a little slower or retreats to the comfort of their air conditioning.

Ever participated in a chili cook-off? Did you know that there is actually an International Chili Society? Oh yea, it’s a big deal and they sponsor chili cook-offs all over the world, many in the sultry heat of summer. Contestants prepare their special ingredients of meat, sauces, beans, spices, or whatever, and enter into a competition to see whose chili is the most popular.

Well, we thought it would be fun to provide such an opportunity at North Park Church. So, on Saturday, July 31^st, from 5pm to 8pm, North Park Church will sponsor the 1^st Annual Dog Days Chile Cook-Off! Got a special recipe? Want to see what others think? Bring it on!

Details are still being worked-out, but we are planning on live music, many “chili contestants” (with trophies for the top 3 chilis!), other foods, and games for kids. Mark your calendars! Bring your neighbors and friends. It will be a lot of fun for the whole family and a great outreach to our community!
