It's that time of year again.
From the Stone Mountain Park website:
Come to the premiere chili event east of Texas only at Stone Mountain Park . The Chili Cook-Off draws more than 300 teams competing for “Best Of”, “People’s Choice” and “Showmanship” awards in competition categories such as Chili, Brunswick Stew and Cornbread. More than $10,000 in prize money is awarded. Sample the great food and participate in a variety of contests. The event’s proceeds support Camp Twin Lakes, a non-profit that offers year-round recreational, therapeutic and educational programs for children facing serious illnesses and other physical, emotional and life challenges.
The annual Chili Cook Off is a blast. In addition to incredible chili, there is amazing cornbread and stew... don't forget to leave room for the stew. Awards are also given for Showmanship.
In all, 300 teams from across the entire country are expected to compete. And it is all for charity. Camp Twin Lakes.
Food isn't the only draw... there is music. Tribute bands will be playing covers of Bob Seger, John Mellencamp, AC/DC, Wings and ZZ Top.
It is a great day out for the whole family. And remember, the chili starts to flow at 11:30, and the event wraps up at 7:00, but the best food will go away early. The bands run all day as well. Hit the website and see the schedule... and enjoy.
