It is going to be hotter than a jalapeño on a summer day, and twice as exciting! Come on down to the parking lot at 3rd and Water Streets (across from Adelio's), and for one small fee (with all of the proceeds going to the Lumberton Community College Foundation), you get to sample all the chili you can handle, listen to the Roots Rock & Roll and R&B sounds of Smitty and the JumpStarters, and have more fun than you oughta.
If you want to enter the Cook-Off Contest, check out the Chili Team Application below.
Let the chili challenge begin! Will it be mild applause or a fiery victory for your secret recipe? 🌶️🔥
What's your winning strategy? Are you going for spicy heat, bold flavor, or an unexpected twist?
