16th Annual Chili Cook-off

The day started off cold and wet but that didn't stop folks from coming out for some great chili. The sun started to shine shortly after and the smell of onions and meat cooking began to fill the air.


Vendors had their decorations, hand made crafts, jewelry, information baked goods and more on display.






The sound of live jazz music from the steps of the Eastwood Memorial United Methodist Church was not only neat to hear, but to see as well.


The competition was great this year!
